Standard attack and development |

|
| |
|
|
2... d6
|
I personally don't like to play this defence as I feel it hinders development. I prefer to defend with 2...Nc6 or counterattack with ...Nf6 then bring out the f-bishop before playing d6 or d5 |

Again, my standard response to this kind of defence, opens up a number of possibilities |

|
| |
|
|
3... h6
|
far too early to play this move, there is no danger of me playing Bg5 yet anyway. A waste of a move which would be better used developing a piece |

|
| |
|
|
4. Nc3
|
White is now well developed and completely controls d5 |

|
| |
|
|
4... a6
|
I can't think of any reason why black has moved four pawns before moving any pieces. He should have at least developed a knight by now. There is no likelihood of me playing Bb5 anytime soon as I have already moved my bishop. |

White is well dug in, ready to launch an attack soon |

|
| |
|
|
5... Bg4
|
eventually develops a piece, however he should develop a knight first |

looks like a daft move, its actually not a bad start to an attack, the offer of the queen is often hard to resist and so acts as a good decoy |

|
| |
|
|
6... Bxd1
|
Black falls for the trap, mate in two can now be forced by white. Always be suspicious if someone is giving away a free queen |

|
| |

7. Bxf7+ Ke7
|
only possible move |

Checkmate. That's one way of sacrificing a queen to win a game, but be careful, if black refuses the offer of the queen then white may be in trouble. Also this attack will not work if black has a knight on f6 |
