1. e4 |
As I don't know hardly any ways to open the game up, I like to make this my first move as white. | ||||
| | |||||
|
1... e5 2. Nf3 |
More of my standard proceedings | ||||
| | |||||
|
2... d6 |
I see this move a lot but I don't understand it as it blocks in the dark squared bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
3. d4 exd4 4. Qxd4 |
I prefer this over Nxd4 as this gets my queen involved in the game early. Sometimes it pays off, others not so. I'm a gambler by nature. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Nc6 5. Qd5 Nf6 6. Bg5 |
Pinning down the knight for now. Allowing me one more move at least before I must decide where to put my queen. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Be7 |
Freeing up the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Qd3 Nxe4 8. Qxe4 |
A fine exchange for me. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8... O-O 9. Bxe7 |
I'm not sure what the plan was. I think I over looked the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Nxe7 |
Easy take. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Ng5 |
At this point the plan is to get my queen to h7 for checkmate. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... Bf5 |
Blocking the queens path and putting it in danger as well as protecting h7 once my queen goes to h4. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Qh4 |
Keeping the h7 dreams alive. However now I must dispatch of that pesty bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Nc6 12. Bd3 |
In an attempt to get rid of the bishop. | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... h6 |
And the dream dies. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Bxf5 |
If hxg5 then Qh7#. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Qe7+ |
Distracting me from all attacks. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14. Kd1 |
I saw this as a better play because then my h1 rook could get into play faster than my a1 rook could. | ||||
| | |||||
|
14... Qf6 15. Bh7+ |
This forces the king to h8 from there I could move my bishop and the pawn on h6 would be unable to take my knight on g5. And also protected by the knight it could stay there and keep the pressure on black. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... Kh8 16. Nc3 |
Simple development to get more pieces involved. Maybe Re1 could have led to some better playing options though as well as control of the file. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16... Nb4 17. Be4 |
Not sure why I pulled out of there. | ||||
