1. c4 |
With c4 my opponent tells me that he likes slower, more positional games. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... Nf6 |
I show that I am going to use an Indian defense. If he plays d4 straight away then I can play ...e6...Bb4 going into the nimo-indian. If he plays Nf3 and avoids Nc3 then I can go into my usual Kings Indian set up. | ||||

This is Reti's setup against the King's Indian. He won a famous game against the great Capablanca with this opening. You can see it at chessgames.com ( http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1102101 ) The idea behind this move is to gain space on the queenside, since black has made no move in the center. This keeps with the hypermodern approach. | ||||

3... Bg7 4. Bb2 O-O 5. e3 |
This move may not be the best. I think that it is best to develop the bishop on the h1-a8 diagonal. on the f1-h6 diagonal the bishop does not do much. | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... c5 |
I now attack the white "center". I can't let white develop completely freely or he will take over the whole board. So I will fight for my space. | ||||

6. bxc5 |
If 6.b5 then the Kings bishop is really in bad shape, and white would lose his play on the queen side. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Na6 |
To regain the pawn, maybe not the best. Qa5 was better. In my research I found that this position had come about once before, with Petrosian playing black ending in a draw. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1279145 | ||||

7. d4 b6 |
Here I give up material for the initiative and free development. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. cxb6 Qxb6 9. Qb3 |
Can't trade queens as I am down material | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Qc7 10. Be2 Rb8 |
Tempoing the queen and gaining access to the open b file | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Qa3 d6 12. O-O Qb6 |
Continuing to take over the b-file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Bc3 Bf5 |
With the bishop on c3 guarding the dark squares on the queenside I start to take over the light squares because White's Kings bishop is inactive. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Nbd2 Nc7 15. Rab1 |
A mistake, dropping the exchange. But things were already becoming difficult for white. He should have tried to use the extra material and open the center, luckily for me though I had him completely concerned about my side of the board. (The joys of playing 15xx players!) | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Bxb1 16. Rxb1 Qc6 17. d5 |
This move weakens the dark squares on the queen side. Definitly not good when I am already up the exchange, and penetrating on the queen side. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Rxb1+ |
Trading material, good when up material | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Nxb1 Qb6 19. Nbd2 Na6 20. h3 Nc5 21. Bd4 Qc7 22. Ne1 Rb8 |
Again using the b-file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Nd3 Nfe4 24. Bxg7 Kxg7 25. Qc1 Nxd2 26. Qxd2 Rb1+ 27. Kh2 Ne4 28. Qc2 Qb6 29. f3 Nf6 30. c5 dxc5 31. Qxc5 Qxc5 32. Nxc5 Nxd5 |
Now I am up two "points". But sometimes these endgames can be hard to convert if all the pawns are on one side. So I will play to keep my QS pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
33. e4 Nc7 34. Nd7 Rb2 35. Bc4 Nb5 36. Ne5 e6 37. Nc6 a6 38. Ne5 Nd4 39. Bxa6 Rxa2 40. Bc4 Rc2 41. Bd3 Rb2 42. Kg3 Kf6 43. Ng4+ Ke7 44. Ne3 Ne2+ 45. Kg4 Rd2 46. Bb5 Nd4 47. Ba4 Re2 48. Kf4 |
A mistake losing another pawn. | ||||
| | |||||
|
48... g5+ 49. Ke5 Nxf3+ 50. gxf3 Rxe3 51. Bd1 |
This just loses a piece. | ||||
