1. e4 
 | 
The title of the game  "Who needs a queen" .  I was not sure who was going to lose a queen but I would soon find out. 
White opened with Kings pawn to e4. |

1... f5 
 | 
I decided to play using the Dutch defence.  I was intending to move my g knight out to f6. |

I took the queen with my g pawn.  Now I found out who was going to lose their queen.  However this has given me doubled pawns on my h file which obviously means I cannot safely cast on the king side.  I don't think I would have chosen to take the queen in this position but if I get a chance to take a queen then I would mostly likely do so. |

Now white takes the pawn I was offering at the start which provides a place for my knight to reside and stops the pawns advance. |

5. Nf3 
 | 
White develops his knight to f3 and prepares to castle. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
5... d6 
 | 
I move my pawn to d6 and this allows my LB to be pointed at white's pawn on f5 and stops f3 knight from moving onto e5. |

White castles.  White looks likely to move his rook onto the e file which only has my undeveloped e7 pawn and the king still on his spot. |

 | 
6... c5 
 | 
I continue to add to my pawn chain with the move c5.  I wonder if e5 would have been a better move as it would stop white from using the e6 square to place his pieces and limit my scope for attack. |

7. Nc3 
 | 
White develops his b knight to c3.  White's bishop is looking happy with itself as it is currently at d3 and has access to 2 diagonals to a6 and h7.  |

For some reason I now decide to capture the pawn at f5 and in consequence lose my LB to white. |

White captures my LB.  Actually this may be fair in the circumstances since white gave me his queen its only fair I give him something back.  But there is nothing for the LB to attack so this may be returning to its previous good position but I suppose its here so it might as well stay and cause me difficulties in moving my pieces out. |

 | 
I move my rook out to the half open g file as my doubled pawns are both protected by the knight at f6. |

9. d3 
 | 
White moves his d pawn to d3 to allow his DB access to the diagonal to h6. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
9... Nc6 
 | 
I develop my b knight to c6 trying to get my pieces out on the queen side so I can long castle. |

Now that pesky LB moves to the spot which I in future will try to fill with my own pieces before my opponent gets in them.  He is now pointed at my rook on g8. | 
   
    | 
|   | 
| 
 | 
10... Rg7 
 | 
So I bring my rook out to g7 as there is nothing for me to attack at present and white has some squares on the g file protected. |

White pushes the h pawn out to h3.  This stops my f knight from landing on g4 plus the e6 bishop is also protecting this square. |
