2. e5 |
Now 2 ... Bf5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... e6 3. d4 |
3 ... c5 here | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... Ne7 |
4. Nf3 or c3 is preferred. I can see that neither player is using the GK World database. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. Bd3 b6 |
5. c3 is called for. | |||||
| | ||||||

5. Ne2 g6 6. O-O Bd7 7. c4 |
7... dxc4 | |||||

7... c6 |
Now White should develop a piece, like Bg5. Or, if White insists on moving the c pawn, exchange it for a center pawn. But don't push it. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. c5 |
What was the point of this?? | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... bxc5 9. dxc5 |
What has White wrought with 8. c5? | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Bg7 10. f4 |
OK, this pawn push was needed to protect the e pawn. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... O-O 11. Nbc3 |
Excellent! You're developing your pieces. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11... a5 |
I'm skeptical of this. How about f6 instead? | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12. Na4 Bc8 13. Nb6 |
A nice outpost! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13... Ra7 14. Bd2 Nd7 15. Nxd7 Qxd7 16. g4 |
What?? How about developing your pieces? Like Nd4. Qa4. Be skeptical of your pawn pushes so early in the game when your pieces are not out yet. | |||||

|
16... Ba6 17. Bxa6 Rxa6 18. b4 |
What?? Another pawn push? How about Qa4 instead.Or Nd4. | |||||

18... axb4 19. Bxb4 |
I am expecting Black to double rooks. Rfa8. Or g5 first with idea of Ng6. White cannot take without getting double isolated pawns and losing pawn protection for e5. | |||||

|
19... Raa8 |
This is a surprising move, and not in a good way. Timid. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
20. a4 |
Nimzovitch tells us to act in the center. So, were I Black, ... f6 would be my move. Now, this a4 move works out for White in the game, but I am generally skeptical of these pawn pushes. I would be expecting g5 or f6 and would likely have moved my Bishop to c3 first. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
20... Qc7 |
I'm thinking Qd2, anticipating ... f6 or ... g5 and wanting to backstop my Bishop and position my Queen to help protect my advanced Kingside pawns. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
21. a5 |
Black has the better game at this point in my opinion. ...g5 then ... gxf4 or Ng6 and Black attacks the center. | |||||
