1. Nf3 
 | 
I've been trying this opening recently, and it can have interesting results. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
1... d5 
 | 
The most common response | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
2. Ne5 
 | 
This is an interesting variation, from the games database. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
2... e6 3. e3 Bd6 
 | 
I have tried the bold Nxf7, but it hasn't really worked for me. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
4. Nd3 c5 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. b3 Nf6 7. Qe2 
 | 
It's all starting to look a little cramped, which I don't really like, but if I can boost, my e pawn things should open up. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
7... Bd7 8. Bb2 
 | 
If there's an exchange on e4, I want my bishop on the long diagonal. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
8... O-O 9. e4 d4 
 | 
wasn't expecting that, but it's OK... | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10. Nb5 
 | 
Was expecting his bishop to retreat to e7 then I could boost my e pawn again... | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10... Bc7 
 | 
...but he's seen that, but now he's left his pawn unprotected. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
11. Nxc5 Nb4 
 | 
Obviously after the fork, but his other pawn is now vulnerable, and it stops the fork. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
12. Nxd4 Bc6 13. e5 Nfd5 
 | 
Now I have a plan, if I take e6 with one knight, then the other, I can fork Rook and Queen. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
14. a3 
 | 
But I have to get that knight out of the way first. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
14... Nf4 15. Qg4 
 | 
Furthering the pressure on e6 | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
15... Nbd5 
 | 
Need to move his other knight now. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
16. g3 Ng6 17. f4 
 | 
I'm ready to attack now, but he does have a way out, by Qd2, then if I took the rook, he gets my queen. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
17... Nge7 
 | 
This move makes everything much easier for me! | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
18. Ndxe6 fxe6 19. Nxe6 Qd7 
 | 
He's seen the fork, and the way out, but missed the greater threat. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
20. Qxg7# 
 | 
 | 
   
    |
