This was a quite interesting game for me. Normally, games that I win I play very methodically and less wreckless. I must say that my oppenent is quite imaginitive and I learned much from him in the 2 divisional games. | ||||||

Tried and true. | |||||

|
1... e5 |
One of the most common responses. | |||||

|
2. Nf3 Nf6 |
Here both knights are attacking their respective pawns, white has the slight upper hand of the first move. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. Nxe5 |
He takes that initiative. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3... d6 |
My counter was simple, force him to return... | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. Nxf7 |
Unless of course he does that. I can't afford to allow him to take a rook or queen so I must take with my King. | |||||

4... Kxf7 |
I have lost my right to castle and my King is more than a little vulnerable | |||||

|
5. d4 |
Opens up his bishop for attack and strengthens his center. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5... Be7 |
A plan to set up something that looks like I castled and get my king a little out of danger (quite hopeful am I not?). | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6. Bc4+ |
I expected this move as it makes sense that he would like to take advantage of his prior moves. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... Be6 |
I counter with an attack with my bishop. | |||||

I did not suspect this move. Perhaps better would be to lay off this move and either Qd3 or Bb3. Either could cause some future problems for black. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7... Kxe6 |
Still this can be called some serious problems. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8. Qf3 |
I have to find a way to get my King out of the unprotected center of the board. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... g6 |
Hmmm.. I seem confused. | |||||

Yuck. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
9... Kf7 |
I started returning to my previous plan. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. b3 |
This could spell trouble as all of his attackers will soon be pointed in the only real direction that my King may have a little protection at this point. | |||||
| | ||||||

10... Re8 |
My continuation. Similar to a castling. Normally I would have preferred Rf8, but then Bh6 would have caused me to waste time, and I am already behind in time and position. In this case both E and F files are half open so E is best. | |||||

Unfortunately, my king is most safe here. Not one of my ideas of a fun situation. | |||||
