11. cxd5 |
A second capture in the centre. In a positional sense this makes no sense. The recapture with the pawn will give both the rook and bishop with wonderful open files to work with. However I will have the better placed bishop, and have created an isolated pawn, which I feel is a weakness in the long run. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
11... exd5 |
Simple recapture, as previously explained this seems better for attacking options, as it offers open files and diagonals to work on. | ||||||||

12. Qc2 |
A modest move, but with a few attacking ideas. The bishop on c5 is undefended, so I may be able to manufacture threats against that, also the queen-bishop combo along the b1-h7 diagonal looks dangerous, even if there is no threat immediately | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
12... h6 |
This move frees the knight, as it was pinned to the h7 pawn (it couldn't move without losing the pawn) It also creates a "luft" for the king, against any future back rank attacks. Perhaps weakens the kingside against a direct assault, however it's not a serious threat. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
13. Rfe1 |
Preparing a possible e4 in the future, which could be dangerous combined with the threat to the c5 bishop. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
13... d4 |
So black sensibly decides to cut out the threat with a pawn push of his own | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
14. exd4 |
I prefered this to moving the knight as I feel he is well placed as he is, and i dislike having my opponent dictate the exchanges | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
14... Nxd4 |
Black signals his intention for a mass exchange - retreating the queen via 15. Qd1 leads to 15...Rxe1 16. Bxe1 Nxf3 17. Qxf3 or something similar, where my position looks to have worsened due to the exchanges | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
15. Rxe8+ |
This is played as a prelude to the exchanges, black must recapture as he is in check, and with the queen on the file, I can swing the rook across to e1 and control the file. Giving the possibliity of back rank threats with the bishop covering the h7 square. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
15... Qxe8 |
Recaptures the rook. This is better than wasting a move with the knight for no good reason as he sits at a good square atm. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
16. Nxd4 |
Rather than accept doubled pawns on the f-file, or retreating the queen, i take the iniative with an exchange of knights | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
16... Bxd4 |
Recaptures, and takes a strong position attacking the potencially weak f2 square. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
17. Re1 |
Taking command of the e-file as I had intended, this looks natural and strong. And if black is careless I can jump to the 8th or 7th rank and pressure his back line. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
17... Qc6 |
Moving the queen out of the range of the rook, and looking at my fairly isolated king. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
18. Ne4 |
In this position if the knight and queen can be removed the rook can move to e8#. So this move attacks both the queen and the knight, without a definite threat, but a general idea. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
18... Qb6 |
A good move, countering my vague threat with 2 threats of his own. The pawns on f2 and b2 are both looking weak. Black threatens the straight forward Qxb2, and the more indirect Nxe4 follwed by Bxf2 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
19. Bc3 |
Defending the threats with one move, this position looks very volatile with 4 pieces attacking and being attacked. | ||||||||

|
19... Bxc3 |
The bishop cannot retreat to e5 obviously, and after 19...Bc5 20. Nxf6 leads to problems and black is forced to double pawns on the f-file. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
20. Nxf6+ |
A nice inbetween move taking advantage of the threat Re8# to force black to double his pawns anyway, as neither Bxf6 or Qxf6 cover the threat | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
20... gxf6 |
The forced recapture. At this point I have a target, the doubled pawns are a major weakness with so few pieces on the board, however I need to find a way of exploiting them. | ||||||||
