11. Nd4 |
Attacks the pawn on b5, knight on c6, and bishop on g4. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
11... Bxe2 |
Naturally. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12. Qxe2 |
An obvious move that allows me to connect my rooks. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12... Nxd4 |
Somewhat forced, I think. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13. Bxd4 |
Best way to recapture. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13... axb4 |
Wanting to simplify the queenside while winning a pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14. axb4 |
I oblige. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14... Bxb4 |
There goes my queenside attack. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15. Nb3 |
Prevents c5 for now. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... Be7 |
Guards the knight so the black queen can move without worrying about my bishop taking on g6 and forcing him to disrupt his castled position to retake and doubling his pawns. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16. Rxa8 |
Forcing the queen to retake so I can play rook a1 and have control of the a file and some initiative attacking his queen. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16... Qxa8 |
Forced. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17. Ra1 |
Attacks queen and gains control of the a-file. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17... Qb7 |
With the possibility of rook a8 challenging my control on the a-file. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18. Na5 |
Continuing to attack the black queen. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18... Qa6 |
Probably the best among other options. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19. c4 |
What I call 'randomness'. Was unsure of what to do. | |||||||

19... c6 |
It seems my opponent was too. | |||||||

20. cxb5 |
Why not? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20... Qxb5 |
I guess my opponent didn't want an isolated b-pawn. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
