1. e4 |
Notes by myself :p | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e6 |
The French defense is now my only answer against 1.e4 | ||||
| | |||||
|
2. d4 d5 3. Nd2 |
The Tarasch variation: white's knight can't be pinned by Bb4 and the c3 square can be occupied by a pawn | ||||
| | |||||
|
3... Nf6 |
3...c5 is the main line, but this move is less drawish and equally good | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. e5 Nfd7 5. Bd3 c5 6. c3 Nc6 7. Ne2 Qb6 |
The old main line... It allows white less options than 7...cxd4 8. cxd4 f6 which is also good | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Nf3 cxd4 9. cxd4 f6 10. exf6 Nxf6 11. O-O Bd6 12. b3 O-O 13. Bf4 |
!? Bb2 is more common | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Nxd4 |
the old d5-fork trick (but on the other side of the board!) | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Nfxd4 e5 15. Be3 exd4 16. Bxd4 Bc5 17. Rc1 Bxd4 18. Nxd4 Bd7 19. Qd2 Rae8 20. Rfe1 Ne4 |
Here i hoped that the isolated pawn would have given me more attacking chances on e4... Fortunately I was right | ||||

21. Bxe4 dxe4 22. Nc2 |
Trying to create a blockade on e3 | ||||
| | |||||
|
22... Bc6 |
!? risky move, because if white succeeded in blockading the pawn, this bishop would become very passive | ||||
| | |||||
|
23. Qd4 |
going for exchanges | ||||

|
23... Qb5 |
24. Qxa7 Ra8 is not good for white, so I can avoid the exchange | ||||
| | |||||
|
24. Red1 |
Preventing Rd8 | ||||
| | |||||
|
24... Qg5 |
Preparing Rd8 | ||||

25. a4 |
Threatening Qxa7 | ||||
| | |||||
|
25... Red8 |
! Allowing Qxa7... I have a good attack which is probably enough compensation | ||||

26. Qxa7 Rd3 27. b4 |
? This pawns will become very weak, maybe Qb6 was better... | ||||
| | |||||
|
27... Qf4 |
threatening e3 | ||||
| | |||||
|
28. Rde1 |
28. Rf1? Rh3! is crushing, but maybe 28. Ne1 is a better defense | ||||
| | |||||
|
28... e3 |
! this pawn is attacked 4 times and can't be taken... | ||||
