1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 |
I felt like playing the Berlin Defense, and see what happened. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4. b3 |
I was not expecting this. Normally the move would be to capture the black pawn on e5. | ||||
| | |||||
|
4... Bc5 5. Bb2 O-O |
Position is now at equilibrium. White is not yet done with development. I expected from here to have White castle, and then develop his night. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6. Bxe5 |
A major mistake, as the white king is not yet adequately protected. | ||||
| | |||||
|
6... Nxe5 |
Just a trick to start my combination. White might have expected this, but if he did, then he didn't deeply explore move. Or he didn't thing that I would sacrifice the Bishop. The best move now in my opinion is now D4. You can't let the Bishop get access to F2 if you still haven't castled. | ||||
| | |||||
|
7. Nxe5 Bxf2+ |
Start of the blitzkrieg that would give Black a decisive advantage. best move for white is now Kf1. This would limit the damage, and gain time to defend. | ||||
| | |||||
|
8. Kxf2 Nxe4+ |
clearing the way for the black queen to dance. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9. Kf3 |
This was not all that great. It just exposes the king further, and pulls white to defeat. | ||||
| | |||||
|
9... Qf6+ |
What else?! black now has to attack to keep white off balance. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10. Kxe4 |
the capture practically begs not to be played, though I doubt that the position can be saved. | ||||
| | |||||
|
10... d5+ |
Allowing another piece into the blitz. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11. Kd4 |
The capture of the pawn would only have lead to early defeat. if 11. Kxd5 then c6! and the capture of the knight. | ||||
| | |||||
|
11... Qf4+ |
only move | ||||
| | |||||
|
12. Kxd5 |
Wrong way! the king should be heading towards safety! | ||||
| | |||||
|
12... Be6+ |
gaining even more time! the night now has to be abandoned. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13. Kc5 |
only move... the King can't head to the hills. | ||||
| | |||||
|
13... Qxe5+ 14. Kb4 a5+ |
the only logical way to follow up the attack, and gains the bishop, though if white was concerned, he would've resigned by now. | ||||
| | |||||
|
15. Ka3 |
only move, and incidentally, sets up a trap. if 15. ...Qxa1?? then 16. c3! and the queen is trapped! | ||||
| | |||||
|
15... c6 |
Capturing the bishop only loses time, and the white king is then safe. | ||||
| | |||||
|
16. c3 |
Setting up shelter. Finally, White can breath slightly easier, or can he... | ||||
