12... Neg4 |
He hits my bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13. Bg1 |
So I retreat, planning to continue with h3, his knight retreats to h6 and then I play g4 threatening g5. What on earth can he do about it? I was thinking that he must now move his king, Bd7 or Re8 to make a space foe a knight to retreat to and was trying to work out which move was best for him, when he shattered my composure with....stop now and work out black's best move. | |||||||

13... e5 |
I really hadn't considered this move, as it leaves his d pawn backwards on a semi-open d file with my queen and rook lined up on the d file. However it is an excellent move! Tactical considerations outway the strategic weaknesses it makes. One problem I have to watch for is a horrible pin on the c1-h6 diagonal, for instance, 14. fxe5? Bh6! wins white's queen. So I can't take on e5, and if next move he plays exf5, I can't take back with the queen for the same reason. I considered Nd4-b5 Nf3, and Nb3, but eventually came to the conclusion that the knight belonged on c2, so that after he takes on f4 his knight can't come to e3. | |||||||

14. Nc2 exf4 |
So he takes. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15. Qxd6 |
As I said before, I can't take back on f4 without losing my queen. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... Bh6 |
He protects f4, threatening f3! with a discovered check. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16. Kb1 |
So I move my king out of firing range. | |||||||

16... Re6 |
He hits my queen | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17. Qd4 |
I retreat, not to d2 of course, where it can be hit with f3, nor to d3 where it can be hit by Ne5. I wanted to maintain the pressure on the d file. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17... Ne5 |
He centralises his knight | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18. Nd5 |
I advance mine | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18... Nxd5 |
He takes. now I am probably best taking back with a pawn, but I wanted to take with the queen to free the d4 square for either my knight or bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19. Qxd5 |
So I took this way. | |||||||

19... Qc7 |
I think it was round about here that he offered a draw. I should have taken it! I didn't think that I had any advantage, but I didn't want to lose rating points, and I thought it would be an educational experience for both of us to play on. | |||||||

20. c5 |
I played this to free up my c4 square for my bishop, but this may well have been a mistake. | |||||||

20... Bc6 |
He hits my queen. I have only one safe square if I want to save it and my pawn on e4. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21. Qd4 |
and this is it! | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21... Bg7 |
Now he is threatening discovered attacks on my queen. I realise that I am worse now. | |||||||
