He retreats | ||||||||

11... b5 |
Qa5 was the move played in the only other game on the Gameknot opening databases (ojdol (2167) vs. janhalpha (2323) - drawn in 32 moves. This move seemed more thematic - pursuing a minority attack against the white queen side. | ||||||||

12. a3 |
He prevents b5-b4 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|

With the idea of coming in to c4 at some stage | ||||||||

13. Qd2 |
He doubles up on the diagonal | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
13... Re8 |
I move the rook, so Be3-h6 can be met with Bg7-h8 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
14. b4 |
He hits my knight, but leaves his c pawn backwards on a semi-open file. He does this before I can play Rc8 enabling me to recapture on c4 with the rook | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
14... Nc4 |
So my knight comes in | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
15. Bxc4 |
He takes | ||||||||

15... bxc4 |
I take back. Now his weak c2 pawn is shielded by my pawn, but I felt I was doing ok here | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
16. Bh6 |
His bishop flies in | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
16... Bh8 |
Mine retreats, as prepared by Rf8-e8 | ||||||||

17. Rad1 |
He mobilises a rook | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
17... Bc6 |
I put more pressure on the e pawn. | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
18. Ng5 |
He protects | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
18... Qc7 |
I plan to put my queen on b7 with more pressure on e4 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
19. Qf4 |
His queen comes up | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
19... Rab8 |
I mobilise my Ra8 | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
20. Rd2 |
Again, I am not quite sure why he played this | ||||||||
| | |||||||||
|
20... Rec8 |
I improve the standing of my other rook. Now if I can distract him on the centre and/or queen side his Bh6 may proof to be misplaced. | ||||||||
