1. e4
|
This game is slightly unusual in that it all ends with a pawn |

|
1... d5
|
I've had some success with the Scandinavian and I fancied another try this time |

2. e5 c5 3. f4 Nc6 4. c3 Qb6

Adds more defence to d4. |

This is the move that diverges from the gameknot database. Alternatives there are d3, Nf3 which would be my preference and b3 |
|

|
5... Bf5
|
Giving me the opportunity to castle |

|
Opening up the a7-g1 diagonal |
|
| |
|
|
8. d3 O-O-O 9. Ng5
|
Threatens a fork on f7 but this is easily parried |
|
| |
|
|
9... Bg6 10. d4
|
Closes the centre which often makes knights more significant but here I am happy with my lsb, white's bishops on the other hand are more restricted |

11. h4 h5

Keeps h6 as an option for my knight if it gets to f5 |
|

12. Nd2 Na5
|
Aiming at b3 |

13. Be2 Nf5 14. Bd1 Be7

links the rooks |
|

|
|
15. g4 Nxd4
|
A knight sac to open the centre up |
|
| |
|
|
16. cxd4 hxg4
|
If white takes with his queen then I have Qxd4 and a chance to attack the exposed white king with my queen and lsb |
|
| |
|
|
17. Qxg4 Qxd4 18. Nxe6
|
Loses the knight as we will see |
|
| |
|
|
18... Qe3+ 19. Be2 Bh5
|
I'm not sure here if Bf5 would be better as it leaves the way open for bxh4+ |
|
| |
|
|
20. Qg2 fxe6 21. Qf2 Qxe2+ 22. Qxe2 Bxe2 23. Kxe2
|
I now have one passed pawn and whites a rook is going to take a couple of moves to get free. If I need to try to apply some pressure |

|
The bishop is immune due to hxg5 Rxh1 pinning the bishop to the rook |
