11. O-O |
White castles dubiously!? Bd6!! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
11... Bd6 |
!! Now black is clearly winning... White has let himself get into lots of trouble. Now we see why the Qe2 move was very poor...never make un-necessary checks that don't do anything and can potentially cause you major problems at a later stage. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12. Qd2 |
Surprisingly White's only move! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12... Bg4 |
Black is starting to command the game now - White's king-side is coming under immediate pressure. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13. Nh4 |
White's pieces are starting to become immobile...the h4 Knight is not doing anything! Now you know the reason for the phrase: "A KNIGHT ON THE RIM IS DIM" | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13... d4 |
Black forces White's other Knight onto a bad square. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14. Nd1 |
You can see how much of an advantage Black now has...mainly because of the passive move of Qe2?? Qe2 has cost White dearly here; losing him time and space and eventually the game. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... Re2 |
Black has now managed to develop into a totally won position...not from amazing play but because White made one silly error and allowed Black to capitalize on this. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15. Qc1 |
Just look at how bad White's position is now. Once more I shall emphasize how much Qe2 has cost White in this game! I urge you, if you are a beginner to look at why Qe2 is bad and to learn not to make un-necessary and passive checks such as this. When a beginner sees a check, his automatic reaction is to check! Checking doesn't necessarily do anything!!! This is a very important rule. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Bxf4 |
Black can afford to trade off pieces here in order to win a few pawns. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Qxf4 |
The Queen literally HAS to take. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Rxc2 |
Black snaps up the pawn. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. f3 |
f3 is a feeble attempt to drive off the g5 Bishop as it opens up White's King furthermore. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17... Be6 |
Black retreats the Bishop gladly into a good,strong square. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Rf2 |
Is White trying to lose this game!? Rf2 allows Black to swap off pieces. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Rxf2 |
Black gladly exchanges the Rook. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Nxf2 |
To be fair to White though, his Knight has now become more active after the exchange. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Nd5 |
Black immediately siezes the oppurtunity to go on the attack. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Qe4 |
White's Queen moves once again! Note how many Queen moves White has made in this game! Most of these moves would have been un-required had White not foolishly chosen to play Qe2 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Rb8 |
Black once more goes on the Pawn hunt. | ||||||
| | |||||||
