1. e4 Nf6
|
Alekhine Defence..it's far more fun to play than most chess openings .
it's also much underestimated opening .
My openent is a good player , i played him twice till now and both games are very nice. |
 
|
| |
|
|
2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. d4 d6 5. f4
|
so its the four pawns attack !
most players try to avoid it maybe because its the most analysed line in Alekhine defence .
but i think its very intersiting for both sides. |
|
| |
|
|
5... dxe5 6. fxe5 Nc6
|
here 6.... c5 is an alternative
yes its strange , black is forcing white to advance his center pawns !!!!
which is usually what white wants to do .
The idea is simple : destroy the pawns !!!????
for example
7.d5 e6
8. Nc3 ed
9. cd c4
and there are many games and variations from this point played by top GMs
back to the game 6.... Nc6 is the normal move |
|
| |
|
|
7. Nf3 Bf5
|
Alternative and most comon is 7.... Bg4 |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nc3 e6 9. a3
|
9.Be3 is the most played move ( of course developing the bishop and defending the d4 pawn), and should be the best.
nothing is wrong with 9.a3 ( preventing knight or bishop to go to b4 square, also in mind b4 in future . |
|
| |
|
|
9... Bg4
|
9. ... Qd7 was played before and gave black a nice position to play even though black lost.
the move in the game is in my notebook where i believe is the best here keeping the presure on the d4 pawn and open all posbilities . |
|
| |
|
|
10. Be3
|
defending the d4 pawn .
so what to choose ?
10.... Be7
10.... Qd7
10.... Bf3
I analysed the three moves and think that 10. Bf3 give my openent some weakneses in the king side which i prefer . |
|
| |
|
|
10... Bxf3 11. gxf3
|
11.Qf3 then 11.... Nd4 12.Qe4 Nc6 white had some compinsation for the pawn but is it enough ... its not clear for me till now..even the e5 pawn might fall .
back to the game
Its very hard to decide what to do here ?, and what move is better ? .
many good moves
according to my notes its 11....Qh4 ( the move in the game )
but 11.... Be7 is good too , also the old 11.... Qd7 is playable here .
so i continue according to my note |
|
| |
|
|
11... Qh4+ 12. Bf2
|
other moves are bad
12. Kd2 o-o-o
12. Ke2 Nc4 |
|
| |
|
|
12... Qf4
|
As you can see too many choices i had, and its not easy to decide where the queen should go. But i have to make a move any way
Even white's position is ok but he should work hard to find the best move .
I was tring hard to find what should white do here , i think white should try to exchange queens in some way as black queen is annoying white .
i had now some analysis for this position , i will not write it cuz its too many but its strange :
My queen is out early and looks alone but its very strong
|

|
13. Nb5
|
so kevin played 13. Nb5 ?
i think he is waisting his time with this move , and clearly he got NO PLAN .
He should try some thing else
13.Qc1
i even think 13.Ne2 is not bad as 13.Nb5
13.Ne2 Qf3 14.Ng3 and Bg2 or 14.Rg1 0-0-0 15.Bg2 with good compensation for the pawn .
With the move in the game , there is no threat nor devolopment and not even defending the pawn .
u can notice the weekneses white should keep an eye on them, ( c4 , d4 , f3 , and the king )
|
|
| |
|
|
13... O-O-O
|
of course !!
Just push the pawn a6
and get the delecios d pawn
Also Ne5 is threatened after a6
|
|
| |
|
|
14. Bg3
|
there are other moves like
14.Qc1 ( nice variation )
14....Qf3 15.Rg1 Qe4 16. Be2 Rd4 17.Nd4 Nd4 18. Bd4 Qd4 19.kf1 Qe5 with knight and three paws for the rook good enough but still needs alot to win .
14.Rg1 Ne5 ! (white can't take on a7 cuz of Kb8 threatneing both a7 knight and Nf3 ) 15.Be2 a6 or 15.... Nc6
14.Be2 a6 15.Nc3 Nd4
But any way 14.Bg3 is ok
|
|
| |
|
|
14... Qe3+
|
This is a very critical moment in the game also the same old question : where to go with the queen ?
if 14.... Qg5 then 15.f4 ! and no more threats from my qeen and even the queen will be in bad squares.
if 14... Qh6 15.Qc1 Qc1 16.Rc1 Nd4 17.Nd4 Rd4 just better ending ( pawn more ) but two beshops with my openent .
so i prefer to annoy my openent more with my lonely qeen

15. Be2
|
15.Qe2 Nc4 |
|
| |
|
|
15... a6
|
ok time for the d4 pawn |
|
| |
|
|
16. Bf2
|
nice move ..... but cant defend the pawn!! |
|
| |
|
|
16... Qh6 17. Nc3 Nxd4
|
surprise !!!
there a check by the queen on h4 |
|
| |
|
|
18. Bxd4 Qh4+
|
cant go back with the bishop cuz queen is pinned !!
but the thing i did not noticed that 19.Bf2 is threatening my queen .
but thanks god i take 19.Rd1 with check .
Is it better to go back with the bishop...giving the queen for rook and bishop and a pawn less ........maybe ?!
|
|
| |
|
|
19. Kf1 Rxd4
|
sure ...
Is it only a pawn ?.....after all this struggle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not really white position is bad |
