11... Na5 |
I think this move is not bad.; it attemts to take the bishop pair away from me, a good idea! | ||||||
| | |||||||

So i can recapture with the queen. "ionadowman (2036) on 02-Jan-08: ...Though I'd be inclined to recapture with the a-pawn: a possibly useful half-open file for the rook, pawns "doubled towards the centre". My own view of such an exchange is that it is slightly favourable for White." | ||||||

Driving my knight away from it's attacking post. | ||||||

This seems pointless to me, the only idea that comes to mind is that jester may be trying to move his rook to the g-file but that would weaken the f7-pawn. I recommend 13.Nxb3 immediatly as white can move his bishop, flawing the plan of jester to exchange one of my bishop pair. | ||||||

? I do the innevitable I save my bishop from impendiing death but the wrong way. I should have played 14.Bc2. This wastes time as I'm forced to play this move anmyway in the next move. | ||||||

This is a good move defending the queen and forcing my bishop to retreat. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Bc2 |
I have to retreat... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... c5 |
It is a bit more obvious no why I shouldn't of played 14.Ba4 because it gives Jester momentum in building a queenside attack while I lose momentum by being forced to retreat. This move calmps the d4 square but it does creat a backward pawn on d6 a chink in the armour of Jester's pawn structure. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Be3 |
I finally develop my last piece bulstering my forces effecting d4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Nc6 |
Black does likewise bringing his knight back out from the wing where it is not doing much to where it can affect my control of the d4 square. In this position i think I have the edge because I hve the bishop pair I have much better pawn structure with no weaknesses, I also have an offensive plan. Jester on the other hand has a weakened pawn structure with chinks on d6 and h6, he's in a very passive position overprotecting d4 and has no realistic attacking plans, apart from maybe putting a rook on g8 and pawnstorming the kingside. As I have most of the initiative it seems unlikely that black will get the chance to carry these out. | ||||||
| | |||||||

This is another maneuvering move which is a pivot post where the knight can pivot to f5 forking blacks bishop and d6 backward pawn. "This move does have a tactical drawback, though: 17...Nxe4." | ||||||

This attacks my bishop pair and has a discovered attack on my h5 knight. Better is 17...d5 I think because it strikes out in the centre. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Nf5 |
! I see no problem in losing that bishop for his knight. My knight is now set on f5 an attacking outpost within the enemies border. This is powerful because it attacks g7 which is an infamour mating square, | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Nxe3 19. fxe3 Bg5 |
This attempts to ubndermine my centre by attacking my weak backward e3 pawn but... | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Qf3 |
! The threat can be easily defended against. i give this move a ! because it defends a pawn while also moving an attacking piece to the kingside. One thing that i should perhaps point out is that backward pawns are weak because they have to be protected by pieces. Pieces shouldn't serve pawns. My backward e3 pawn is better than blacks because mine can support a d4 push has half-opened the f file and is easily defended and is difficult to be attacked. On the other hanmd blacks d6 pawn is now very weak because it is being defended by a queen which is much mor valuable than a mere pawn and this pins the queen to that pawn in a way because she has to defend it from my night on the powerful f5 squate. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Ne7 |
Jester obviously realises the need to unpin his queen from protecting that backward pawn and attem,pts to trade my powerful f5 knight. a good plan. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. h4 |
!! I can't retreat the knight so I decide to exchange on my terms. i think this move deserves !! because it counter attacks, ie athreat with a threat. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Nxf5 |
?? This move is very poor for black it ends blacks chances....you will see from the ensueing exchanges 21...Bf6 would have kept Jester in the game. | ||||||

Now I'm up a pawn and am in a clear winning position. This rook move opens the f1 square for me to create an omnipotent batter on the half-open f-file of a queen and two rooks. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25... Rfh8 |
This may plan to bring his king to safety via f8 and e8. Jester is thinking something entirely different though. | ||||||
