11... a5 |
So she plays this instead. I can't see this move on my opening databases, I can only see Qa5 and Bb7 here. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12. Ne5 |
So I advance. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
12... Bb7 |
She continues to develop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13. f4 |
Supporting the knight, but with the added advantage of protecting g2 with my queen on c2 if ever she plays c6-c5. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
13... Re8 |
She continues to develop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
14. Rh3 |
Protecting e3 but also with attacking ideas in mind, such as Rd-h1 and Rh3-g3 or Rd-g1 and g2-g4. | |||||||

14... Nxe5 |
She takes - which way would you recapture dear reader? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15. fxe5 |
I finally decided to take this way. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
15... Nd5 |
The usual follow up. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16. Bxe7 |
Getting rid of her good bishop. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
16... Qxe7 |
She takes back. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17. Ne4 |
My knight takes up a string central position. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
17... Nb4 |
She forks my queen and rook. | |||||||

18. Qb1 |
Queen drops back. Now, would you take on d3 or not dear reader? | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
18... Ref8 |
She didn't, and I think she is right not to. I think she is perparing to chip away at my centre with f7-f6. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19. Rf1 |
So I put a stop to that. Now f6 20. exf6 gxf6 21. Rg3+ and black is in trouble. If the king goes to f7 the f6 pawn falls, and if the king goes to h8 then 22. Rg6 forks h6 and f6 and f6-f5 is met with 23. Nc5 and e6 is now attacked as well as h6 and Rf6? is met by exchanging on f6 and then I take the bishop on b7. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
19... c5 |
But now she has this move, so maybe my last move was a mistake? (perhaps better a3)? The Bb7 comes to life and the tide starts to turn against me. | |||||||

20. Bxb5 |
I take this pawn. Find black's next move. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
20... Nxa2+ |
A brilliant pseudo sacrifice by my young opponent. Of course, if I take her knight, she takes my knight and is threatening g2, with advantage to black. | |||||||
| | ||||||||
|
21. Kd1 |
So I leave it. | |||||||
