1. e4
|
This game is a typical Rui Lopez'game (Ruy Lopez, Closed, Chigorin Defense).
Both players will start a well kown line without any exchange
In the early middle game agmac(Black) will start to lose several tempos using his N. High(White) will therefore increase his influence on the center, strengthening d5 and the whole chess board. Let's see what happened! |

|
| |
|
|
1... e5
|
e4 e5 looks like an open game is taking place |

|
| |
|
|
2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4
|
Ba4 refuses the straight exchange. |

|
| |
|
|
4... Nf6
|
Here we have a couple of good moves for blacks among them:
Ne7/ Bc5 (even Bb4)/ b5 was expected / f5 is possible / Nd4 ... they are typical anyway. |

|
| |
|
|
5. O-O Be7
|
Nxe4 is still acceptable. Now I guess that agmac didn' t want to open up the game against a 2300 player. not this way, At least. |

|
| |
|
|
6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. h3 Na5
|
we follow the line... |

|
| |
|
|
10. Bc2 c5 11. d4 Qc7
|
I didn't study the exchange on d4. the thing is d4 is willing to get control of c6 and e6 and hold a firm center. |

|
| |
|
|
12. d5
|
(Martin Christoffel vs Laszlo Szabo - 1946 - 0-1. looks similar to this position.) |

|
| |
|
|
12... Nc4
|
After the 12th moves, odds are in favor of white:
win - draw - lost%
37.5 - 41.7 - 20.8
According to me: Nc4 is the first waste of time for blacks towards his central attack. |

|
| |
|
|
13. b3 Nb6 14. a4
|
a4 was meant to be played somehow early in the middle game.
here a b4 answer would have killed the black. |

|
| |
|
|
14... Bd7
|
Bd7 could draw the game in 54.7% of the cases. |

|
| |
|
|
15. a5
|
a5 is quite surprising for agmac as he loses tempo again with the same N. He will now look for paths.
Besides a5 is safe and allow c4 later |

|
| |
|
|
15... Nc8 16. c4
|
Now c4 reinforces d5. the game is not completely closed. White bishops (Bc1 and Bc2) give nice view on the K's side |

|
| |
|
|
16... Ne8 17. Nc3 Bd8
|
Bd8! give place to the N looking for files as we said. |

|
| |
|
|
18. Bd3 Ne7 19. Qc2 Ng6
|
Ng6 is the 7th move of this N. more than the 3rd of blaks'move. |

|
| |
|
|
20. Be3 Qc8
|
f5 is the target of both players |

|
| |
|
|
21. Ne2 f5 22. exf5 Bxf5 23. Bxf5 Rxf5 24. Nd2 Rf7 25. Ne4
|
From now on Ne4 is possible and powerful. |

|
| |
|
|
25... Rb8 26. Qd3 Qd7 27. Reb1
|
white have space, squares and many possibilities
b and c files are controled |

|
| |
|
|
27... Qf5
|
whereas black create fake threats here |

|
| |
|
|
28. Ne2g3
|
an other tempo loss by agmac with a simple Ng3, the Q is back in her quaters. |
