1. d4 |
I was privileged and honoured to be able to play the beautiful and talented young player, Women International Master, Priyanka K in a game recently. I have asked for Gameknot to give a computer analysis on this game, and I will use that analysis in my annotations. As we shall see, Gameknot thinks that I made two errors. But for my opponent, Gameknot thinks she played a faultless game, an amazing achievement! | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
1... Nf6 |
So naturally I opt for an Indian Defence. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
2. c4 |
She replies with the most popular move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
2... e6 |
I play this rather than my usual Grünfeld Defence with this. There are far more games with this on the opening databases, and the opening databases give e6 a higher rating. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
3. Nf3 |
An invitation to the Queen's Indian Defence with 3....b6 She plays what I usually play as white in this position. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
3... d5 |
But I transpose into a Queens Gambit Declined. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
4. Nc3 |
The most commonly played move at this point. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
4... c6 |
And again I play the most commonly played move in this position. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5. Bg5 |
The sort of move I'd play. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5... h6 |
I attack the bishop | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
6. Bxf6 |
She takes. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
6... Qxf6 |
I take back. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
7. e3 |
Sensible developing move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
7... Nd7 |
I am still sticking with my policy of choosing the most popular moves. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
8. Be2 |
She develops | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
8... dxc4 |
White often takes here, after white has moved the Bishop from f1 as when white recaptures, white has to move the Bishop again. | ||||||

9. O-O |
White calmly castles. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
9... Qd8 |
Maybe I should have tried b5 instead, holding onto the pawn, at least for a little while. I wanted to complete my development as soon as possible. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
10. Bxc4 |
So now she takes back. Gameknot already gives her a small advantage. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
10... Be7 |
I continue to develop. | ||||||
| | |||||||
