1. d4
Here i am again boring you with another of my games but here we go any way

 
1... e6
to play a different opening to my usual d5 i played the often played e6

 
2. e4
he gets straight into control of the centre

2... d5
but he can't hog it all- white has to share the centre

 
3. e5
now this is a position i usually want to avoid because often from such positions, i feel at a loss how to get at the king apart from when it castles

3... c5
but i still can break this formation by the strength of pushing my pawn to c5, threatening to involve my bishop into the game!

4. c3
not uncommon but if i were white i would have tried to avoid that

4... cxd4

5. cxd4
now, though it is a similar position to before, whites defences are much weaker and i have opened up my line of attck for my bishop!

 
5... Nc6
push right into the developing of pieces

 
6. Nf3
so does he

 
6... Bd7
a subtle hint that my knight is likely to advance further

 
7. Bb5
not exactly pinning my knight in a dangerous way, in fact it can be an exscuse to move the knight

7... Nxe5

8. dxe5

8... Bxb5
but here i get a point ahead

 
9. Nc3
he keeps developing

 
9... Bb4
but i like where my white-squared bishop is placed, so play the pinning move

 
10. Nd4
i'm not certain why white would play that?

10... Bd7
but i still pull my bishop to safety just in case
