This is a game against fellow Southern Chess member tnaptguy. He named this game "My game is in the toilet!" However, his game seems to be very good, from my viewpoint. We play a very even game... | ||||

1... e5 2. Nf3 d6 |
? I don't like opening the diagonal for Bb5. I never have. If I play the common Bb5 he has many sensible replies, but he would have to respond to MY move, as opposed to making one of his own accord. | ||||

If it's a fight for the center he wants, it's a fight he'll get! | ||||

!? Tricky. That e5 square must be very important to Black... | ||||

...so I decide to capture. | ||||

|
4... dxe5 5. Bc4 |
Quick recap. I have two minor pieces developed whilst Black has only his two pawns. However, there are no pieces in front of the queens... | ||||
| | |||||
|
5... Qxd1+ |
...cat fight! Black opts to force my king to lazily move. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Kxd1 Bc5 |
Now that he has unearthed the king, it's time to attack the exposed pieces. | ||||

7. Be3 |
White does NOT want this exchange. An exposed king doubled pawns=trouble | ||||

7... Bb6 |
? Thankfully, it doesn't happen. However, this is questionable. He is inviting me to double one of HIS pawns? I'm sure he had a plan, but I don't see it. | ||||

8. Bxb6 axb6 9. Bxg8 |
?? What on earth is White doing? He has left his king totally exposed! In truth, I feared 9. ... O-O for this reason. I need his rook to have trouble developing. | ||||

9... Rxg8 10. Re1 |
Now MY rook is free, whilst my bishop move has stalled his matching rook. | ||||

? I don't know what this was for. | ||||

?! I guess that Black's previous move was an attempt at control of the queen side. so I refute this. | ||||

11... Nc6 |
Now I am THANKFUL for my previous pawn move. I can safely refute his assault. | ||||

! Now he's coming on the KING side, but my defense is clear. | ||||

Of course. | ||||

13... Be6 |
! Nice positional move! His bishop now controls many more squares than before, plus it opens the path for castling. | ||||

! Planning an assault on b5? | ||||

14... O-O-O+ |
Very pretty, but easily refuted. | ||||
