12... Nc6 |
This is amazing. Black is still developing his pieces while white is already fully developed with a safe king and a powerful attack. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. e5 |
White pushes a pawn trying to open one of the central files. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... dxe5 14. Nxe5 Nxe5 15. Bxe5 Qg5 |
Black tries to fend of white's bishop again. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. Rfe1 |
White defends with the rook while putting his rook on an incredibly powerful square. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Nf5 |
?! Black tries to get his knight involved but completely forgets his hanging pawn on c7. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17. Bxc7 |
White is now equal in material and is in a won position. | ||||
| | |||||
|
17... Bd7 18. Qb4+ |
! This starts white on a combination which is almost entirely forced. | ||||
| | |||||
|
18... Ne7 |
Only possible move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
19. Rxe7 |
! This sets up the skewer with the bisho when black takes with his queen, which by the way is forced the only other option which is very respectable in a such a position is 19... 1-0! | ||||

I think you will agree with me when i say this is a wonderful game which shows the importance of rapid development of pieces even at the expense of a couple of pawns. I wish Paul Morphy had played this openings as white because he would have created games just as good as this if not even better because he truly understood the power of development.. I hope you liked this game as much as I did. If you have any feed back or any complaints on mistakes you've spotted please PM me. Oh yes one more thing if you enjoyed this game then I recommend you look at my annotated game called 'Naval intelligence' which involves the Evan's Gambit which is a lot similar to the DG. It offers a good intro to the opening. Cheers Tom | ||||
