11. c4 |
This is a good move, preparing 0-0. Although it eventually loses a pawn, it is worthwhile losing a pawn in this position, if it also involves improving development and exchanging pieces (which it does). White is so far up, she can afford the odd pawn here and there, as long as she is careful. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
11... dxc4 |
I take. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12. bxc4 |
She takes back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12... Bb4 |
This move threatens Ba6xc4 as her Nd2 is now pinned. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13. O-O |
So she castles while she can. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13... Bxd2 |
I take the knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14. Bxd2 |
She takes back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14... Bxc4 |
I take the pawn, attacking her rook. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15. Re1 |
And she moves the attacked rook. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... Ne4 |
I advance my knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16. Bb4 |
She moves her attacked bishop, although I was in two minds whether or not I would take it anyway. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16... Rfe8 |
and I move my attacked rook. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17. Qf3 |
I don't think this is a very good move. Although it attacks my Ne4, after I protect it with Bd5, I am threatening discovered attacks on her queen, by moving my Ne4. Qc2 looked stronger to me. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17... Bd5 |
So I protect. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18. Rac1 |
She develops her rook to a sensible square, attacking my pawn on c7. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18... c6 |
I protect it by moving it forward. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19. Qf4 |
Post Match Computer Analysis (PMCA) says this is a mistake. I was thinking that maybe in some variations I can play g7-g5, attacking both her queen and knight. g7-g5 immediately though can be met with Qc7 attacking my knight, so I decide to protect my knight first, with my rook. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19... Rad8 |
PMCA says that this is also a mistake, and gives c5 as a better move for black. I am not convinced. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20. f3 |
This is a good move, attacking my knight. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20... Nef6 |
So I retreat it. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
