Chess opening:
KGA (C33), bishop's gambit, Bogolyubov variation
|
This is my white game against Joanne in the WtW MT 4. Everyone should be tired by now of my King's Gambit chronicles. Sadly, it is just too much fun for me to ever stop. So get used to it or stop playing e5! (I don't recommend option 2. That option is boring.) |
|
1. e4 e5 2. f4 exf4
|
The KGA is brought to you by Crush soda. Remember when you are in a rush, you need a Crush (soda). |

3. Bc4
|
I have started playing 3 Bc4 exclusively. I don't like 3. Nf3 because we'd be in the database for 15 moves. I'd rather the database be all my games and my opponent's think, "What have I done?!" |

|
|
|
3... Nf6
|
What I consider as the best response. |

|
|
|
4. Nc3
|
Don't worry pawn I still need you. |

|
|
|
4... Nc6
|
This is unorthodox to say the least. I already started thinking of all the bad things I'm about to do. I like c6 as a move more. |

|
|
|
5. Nf3 d6
|
I was once told that, if someone played a Fischer d6 move in the 3. Bc4 lines it's a bad idea, but there are always exceptions. This isn't the exception. Bb4 or Na5 are more accurate. |

|
|
|
6. d4
|
I love having the center with no resistance against me. Black must be accepting my reign as king. |

|
|
|
6... Nh5
|
Protecting the pawn, but what protects you? |

|
|
|
7. O-O Bg4
|
I think 7. ...g6 was the best move here.and I might go as far as saying this moves a blunder. It looks nice, but the bishop gets scared easy. |

|
|
|
8. h3
|
Run you sniper. You can't fight hand to hand. |

|
|
|
8... Bd7 9. Nd5
|
e5 or Nd5 was my choices here in my mind. I like this move more just because the N that starts on b1 is never a part of the attack and get's lonely. Seriously though, I have complete control of the center and nothing to deter me from making these moves, so I happily take them. |

|
|
|
9... Be7
|
Be6 seemed to be the only move to me here. Not sure why we are avoiding tactics against a KGA. It's asking for trouble. |

|
|
|
10. Ng5
|
Ok so here was my plan with this move. I had decided that I had enough pieces on the kingside, but I needed to take away my opponent's key pieces on the kingside. And here comes the boom. |

|
|
|
10... Bxg5
|
only move. |

|
|
|
11. Qxh5
|
Only move |

11... O-O

Only Move |

12. Bxf4
|
ONLY MOVE! |

|
|
|
12... Bxf4
|
Ok so this is a blunder (not the only move did I trick you?), but I don't blame her for not seeing the attack. It's a pretty cool one. h6, Bh4 Be7 are some of the better moves. |

|
|
|
13. Rxf4
|
Just look at this position. Of the 16 middle squares I have pieces in 5 of them, and I technically control all the ones behind my pieces. I could claim I have control of 12 or 13 of the most important squares. That's a big deal folks. |

|
|
|
13... h6
|
It didn't matter here my next move was coming no matter what pretty much. |
