1. d4 |
I am playing this game with the delightful Zhanna. I am over 1000 grading points above her. I delibrately let her have my queen early on, to give her a chance. Unfortunately little by little she lets me get back into the game. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
1... d5 |
So we start conventionally. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
2. Nf3 |
This is good development. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
2... Nf6 |
I copy her. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
3. e3 |
This is a good developing move too, although c2-c4 is more usual. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
3... e6 |
I continue to copy. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
4. Bb5+ |
This is not a good move. After the correct reply from black, c7-c6 white has to move the bishop again. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
4... Qd7 |
So I offer the queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5. Bxd7+ |
She takes it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5... Bxd7 |
I take back. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
6. b3 |
And she develops. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
6... Bd6 |
So do I. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
7. Nbd2 |
This is not a bad square for the knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
7... O-O |
I castle. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
8. c3 |
This move doesn't fit in well with 6. b3. Better was Bb2. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
8... Bb5 |
I stop her from castling 0-0 as my bishop attacks f8. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
9. a4 |
So she hits my bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
9... Ba6 |
So I drop back. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
10. Nh4 |
This move doesn't achieve much. I think it would be better to continue with the plan of attacking my Ba6, with b3-b4 with the threat of b4-b5 winning my bishop and if, say c7-c6 then Qd1-b3 renewing the threat of b4-b5. If I then play Bd3, she has c3-c4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
10... Nbd7 |
I continue to develop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
