I am black in this game. | |||||
|
1. e4 |
kings pawn opening | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... c5 |
Sicilian defence. Mine favourite opening against e4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. Nf3 |
White wants to play open Sicilian. He could have played Nc3 or f4 which would both lead to a more positional game. | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 |
Dragon defence. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Be3 |
Most played move in every level. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Bg7 7. f3 Bd7 |
Here I mixed the opening order in order to make my opponent think for a while for nothing. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Qd2 Nc6 9. O-O-O O-O |
Both players castled and the mating race is on. White usually starts his attack earlier. But black will catch white if he sacrifices his rook in the right time. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. h4 h5 |
Black usually plays h5 to slow down whites attack. Because time is really crucial in this opening. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Bh6 |
A thematic move in dragon defence. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Bxh6 12. Qxh6 Nxd4 13. Rxd4 Rc8 |
Now blacks rook is eyeing on the knight on c3. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Be2 |
Getting ready to play g4. If black doesn't do something he will be crushed. | ||||

14... Qa5 |
I am starting my own attack. Now the exchange sacrifice on c3 can be dangerous. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. g4 |
? A mistake. White should have played Rd3 to protect the c3 knight and then g4. | ||||

|
15... Rxc3 |
! The right time to sacrifice the rook. Now the pawn structure around the white king is terrible. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. bxc3 |
The only move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Qxc3 17. Rdd1 |
Whites only move that doesn't lose | ||||

|
17... Rc8 |
Putting more pressure on the c file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18. Bd3 Bb5 |
! 5 moves ago all white pieces were part of an attack. Now all of them have to go back to help their king. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Qe3 |
Most logical move. Protecting the bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19... hxg4 |
Black can't continue his attack. Because he is out of ammo. | ||||
