11... Ne8 |
Preparing a check on h4. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12. Nf3 |
I develop! Fritz likes this move! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
12... Bh4+ |
He throws in the check. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
13. Ke2 |
I leave it. Fritz prefers the exchange, and then putting the king on f1, but I didn't want to invite his queen into my position. Also this move threatens g4-g5, cutting off the bishop on h4. | ||||||

13... h6 |
This seems a logical way of meeting the threat, but Fritz prefers retreating the bishop. | ||||||

14. Qg1 |
Again, not a move Fritz likes, but I like it - it aims the queen at the Kg8. I have a plan of exchanging on h4 followed by Bf3 and g4-g5. | ||||||

14... a6 |
Preparing the b7-b5 break. Right idea, but Fritz prefers Be7. | ||||||

15. Nxh4 |
So I take. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
15... Qxh4 |
He takes back. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Bf3 |
I continue with my plan. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... b5 |
and he continues with his. | ||||||

17. g5 |
And mine as well. Fritz likes this move. I think this position is getting hard for black. | ||||||

17... hxg5 |
He takes. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Bxg5 |
I take back, threatening the queen. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18... Qh7 |
A natural retreat. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. Be7 |
And, as you can see, this is where I win the exchange. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Nef6 |
Now he gives me a choice - to win the exchange or a pawn? | ||||||

20. Bxf8 |
I greedily grab the exchange - Fritz prefers taking the pawn. | ||||||

20... Kxf8 |
The best way to recapture, as the Nd7 wouldn't have its chances enhanced on f8 - it still wouldn't have many squares. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Qg5 |
One idea is that if he now moves Nf6, I have Qd8 mate! Fritz prefers the more natural exchange on b5 followed by a3. | ||||||
