1. d4 |
black plays a very provocative opening which allows white to set up a large central pawn mass, it is debatable whether white is overextended or not. what follows is a soup of tactics, white misses an oportunity to win a piece which gives black an advantage. white immediatly sacrifices the exchange for the initiative which can be all important in crazy tactical positions; The gamble almost pays off but white buckles at the critical moment, missing the winning continuation. Whites attack keeps going but is missing the power it had, black defends well then counter attacks and quickly mates as the white attack runs out of steam. i hope you enjoy | |||||

1... Nf6 2. c4 e5 |
the budapest defence, white does better to immediately return the pawn and play for a solid positional edge rather than try to hold the pawn when black should be more than compensated | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. dxe5 Ng4 |
3...Ne4?! is not so good after 4.a3! preventing Bb4 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. e4 |
white has no interest in holding onto the pawn, prefering to gain a large centre. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... Nxe5 5. f4 |
the logical continuation of white 4th move, white will try to prove the central pawns are a strength while black will argue that they are in fact a weakness that will need to be heavily defended. black will go about this by the method pioneered by Aron Nimzowitsch, Restrain Blockade Destroy! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... Ng6 6. Nf3 Bc5 |
black hits the weakened d4 square | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. Nc3 d6 8. Bd3 O-O |
black removes his king from the centre getting ready to start operations in the centre | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9. Qc2 |
white develops so as to support his pawns | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Nc6 |
again hitting the weak central dark squares | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. Nd5 Nb4 |
10...Nh4 is strong here as it aims to exchange the white knight on f3 which is much stronger than the black one on g6. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. Nxb4 |
white can't allow black to trade off the light square bishop as it is a key piece in holding together the white pawn centre | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11... Bxb4+ 12. Bd2 Bc5 |
Black prefers to keep the dark square bishops on the board as this emphasises the dark square weaknesses | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13. O-O-O |
!? interesting idea, white wants to castle on opposite wings and use his more advanced pawns to help launch a kingside attack | |||||
| | ||||||
|
13... Bd7 |
? weak move. now white has an advantage as he can force my pieces into bad positions | |||||
| | ||||||
|
14. b4 Bb6 |
?? terrible blunder, i thought i saw a miracle save which made 15.c5 bad but i overlooked something... black has to try 14...Bf2 15.Rhf1 Bh4 when white has an advantage due to blacks badly placed pieces and thus should try to open up the position with 16.e5 | |||||
| | ||||||
|
15. c5 dxc5 16. bxc5 Rc8 |
preventing 17.cxb6 and 17...cxb6 pins the queen, therefore the king has to move | |||||
| | ||||||
|
17. Kb1 |
?? Kb2, the move i overlooked, wins, this however loses. the point being that when the black queen takes the d3 bishop if the king is on b2 it isn't with check. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
17... Ba4 |
! the miracle save mentioned earlier | |||||
| | ||||||
|
18. Qc4 |
? a dubious sacrifice at best, white should settle for 18.Qxa4 Qxd3 19.Kb2 Bxc5 when black is up a pawn but white is more active | |||||
| | ||||||
|
18... Bxd1 19. Rxd1 |
the only try for any sort of advantage | |||||
