11. a3 |
Now he is forced to take as Ba5 loses the bishop to b2-b4 and Bd6 to e4-e5 | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
11... Bxc3 |
So he takes. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12. bxc3 |
I take back. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12... Bd7 |
and he finally develops his bishop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13. a4 |
I want to drive back his Nb6. Maybe I can have pressure on the b file by moves like Ra1-b1 attacking b7, after his knight goes. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13... Bc6 |
He puts the bishop on a more active square. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14. c4 |
With thoughts of d4-d5. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
14... Qd7 |
Attacking a4, but taking away a square from his bishop. | ||||||

15. a5 |
I hit his knight. | ||||||

|
15... Nbc8 |
Which runs away. | ||||||

16. d5 |
And now his bishop, which is running out of squares. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... exd5 |
So he takes. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. exd5 |
Normally people are advised to take towards the centre, but it would be a massive mistake to take with the c pawn here, as it would give him b5 for his bishop. | ||||||

17... Bxd5 |
As he is losing it, he may as well get 2 pawns for it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. cxd5 |
So I take. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Nxd5 |
he takes back, attacking Be3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Bc5 |
I decide to sacrifice a pawn to prevent him castling. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Nxf4 |
He takes it. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. Re1+ |
I throw in a check. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Ne6 |
His knight retreats. | ||||||
