15... bxc6 |
The best way to recapture. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16. Rad1 |
Centralising my rook. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
16... Rb8 |
Attacking b2. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
17. Kc1 |
Protecting, and completing my "castling by hand". | ||||||

17... Bd7 |
Continuing to develop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
18. Be2 |
Preventing the exchange of my bishop, opening up the d file for my rook, and also protecting f3, and hence preparing g2-g4. If I play g2-g4 immediately, he can take en passant, play c6-c5, driving my Nd4 to another square, followed by Ne5xf3. | ||||||

18... Rfd8 |
He also develops. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19. g4 |
I continue with my plan. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
19... Nf6 |
He retreats. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20. b3 |
With thoughts of Nc2 followed by doubling rooks on the d file. I wanted to overprotect c4 in case he wanted to play Be6. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
20... Ne8 |
So he protects d, rendering my plan useless. Also black is now threatening c5, driving away my Nd4, and then Nxf3 or g4 discovering an attack on my Nc3. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21. Bh4 |
But I have this attacking Rd8. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
21... Rdc8 |
So he moves the rook. | ||||||

22. Bg5 |
And I have this. I did see the combination my opponent played, but I thought "What of it? Material will still be level, as I gain the pawn on f4 and I get rid of his strong knight on e5, his strong pawn on f4, and I am left with pressure down the d file. | ||||||

22... c5 |
So he continues with his plan. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23. Nc2 |
The only square for the knight. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
23... Nxf3 |
I actually thought taking on g4 was better, as this capture draws my bishop onto a better square. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24. Bxf3 |
I take. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
24... Bxc3 |
He takes back. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
25. Bxf4 |
And I restore material equality, his d6 is now attacked twice. | ||||||
