In this game, I came straight from teaching to the chess match, arriving 20 minutes late. Thankfully I still managed to win! | ||||

1... d5 |
Prior to this game, I had had a string of games where I had played badly. I was delighted to get back to playing something more like what I am capable of! | ||||

So it's a Queen's Gambit. | ||||

5... Bf5 |
The bishop retreats. | ||||

6. Qb3 |
I hit b7. I think Qb6 is now his best bet, but he tried..... | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... b6 |
This leaves his c6 pawn very weak, for instance if Nb8 moves, c6 falls. | ||||

7. Bg5 |
I think he panicked a a bit at this moment, thinking that I was threatening to take on f6 followed by taking on d5. However if he takes back with a pawn, I can't take on d5 as my Ne5 would have been attacked. | ||||
