1. e4 |
Here we go. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... c5 |
Alright. I have played the Sicilian Defence here. This is the alternative move to e5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2. c4 |
Usually my opponent wouldn't play this, they usually go for Bc4 and try and set up for the four move mate or King's Gambit. I will see If I can find an example for you later. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... Nc6 |
And now for some development (rule #2) As Black, steal the advantage from white. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Nc3 |
I would say from here he wants to castle King-side but too early to tell for sure yet. Best to play it cool and keep developing. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... e6 |
This is to stop white from advancing his Knight to d5 and opens my Bishop and Queen. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. g3 |
Definetly looks like he wants to castle King-side now. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... Nf6 |
Keep developing | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. Bh3 |
Now White has made a mistake here. His Bishop cannot go anywhere, really from this position except back to where he should have gone in the first place g2 (Rule #10 & 11). | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... g6 |
I am going to set up for the Kings Indian Panno Variation. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. Nf3 |
Ok Finally White has out developed me. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... Bg7 |
Nothing to do but continue to set up my castle. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. d4 |
White pushes for control of the centre. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... cxd4 |
Let's take it and see what happens | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Nxd4 |
Now If I take his Knight with mine it will be a straight swap with the possibility of a discovered attack on his Queen. But that means my Knight would have to move to h5 to back up the Bishop (Rule #3), bad for me. Instead I will avoid the confrontation for now and see what white plays | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... Ne5 |
Mmmm Yummy looking pawn @c4. Notice I attack toward the side I think he is most likely going to castle on | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. Qe2 |
OK He saw the free pawn. Let's castle. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... O-O |
This is a strong castle as long as white castles on this side also. It can get hairy if he castles opposite and starts pushing pawns on my King-side but it is going to take a lot of moves before white can even attempt that. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. Bf4 |
Ok I said there are some exceptions to the rules. In particular to this case Rule #3. Only as a last resort I play this next move though | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10... Nh5 |
This defends my Knight from his Bishop (Rule #5) and attacks his Bishop with my other Knight (also Rule #5) | |||||
