1. e4

I write this annotation because I feel this gives a peek into how to accurately finish an attack. |

Sicilian Defense. This is by far my favorite response to e4. |
|
| |
|
|
2. d4
|
? This is a weak move compared to the other lines as it allows black a speedy to have development of his B8 knight. |

?! blocks of the c1 bishop I think Qa4 is best in this position. |

4... Nf6 5. f3

Strange choice however it doesn't seem like it is too weakening as I can't use it to my advantage quite yet. However it does have the downside of zero development and keeping the knight of its best square f3. Nc3 is the best choice. |

5... d5
|
?! not sure I like this move so much now as it is promoting an early trade of queens and I really don't want to do that here. |

6. Nc3

I can take e4 but I don't really feel like it gives black much I can play e6 but I get an isolated pawn position from it. e6 is probably best however I was uncomfortable with the positions if white decided not to trade. For instance white play e5 down the line I could be looking at a compromised king position. I opt for d4 taking some and keeping the tempo. |

6... d4 7. Nb5 e5
|
a6 was good but I wanted support d4 first besides the b5 knight isn't moving anywhere for now. |

8. Qd3
|
? this is just plan bad not only does it waste a tempo but it seemingly does nothing for whites game. |

!? I like this move it takes the initiative however I don't think white really benefits as much from a central break as black. |

I wanted to clear room so I can castle so when the center breaks open I can tuck my king away. But where should my bishop go? Be7 is playable but I don't feel like I get anything from it. I should have played Bd6 here after fxe5 Bxe5and blacks position is good. I opted for this because I had in my head that I wanted to play Nxe5 to challenge the queen and if I had played Bd6 I would lose my d4 pawn after Nxe5. |

11. Bd2
|
Best was probably for white to take here fxe5 Nxe5 Qg3 Ng6 e5 Qe7. |
|

11... O-O 12. b4
|
? This is the first big blunder as it weakens white and looses material. First question here is what piece do you take with? After Bxb4 Bxb4 Nxb4 Qb3 I don't seem much for black to continue with and things seem to be okay. White could also choose to ignore the bishop on b4 and play something like Nf3. After Nxb4 however Qb3 Qe7 black holds the initiative and soon has e4. |

|
12... Nxb4 13. Bxb4
|
Think best was to play Qb3. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Bxb4+ 14. Kd1
|
Again this is most likely best as Ke2 Qa5! Nb1 Be6 is very difficult for White to deal with. And Kf2 Qa5 Nb1 Be1+ Ke2 Be6 is hard to deal with as well. |

14... Ng4

Gaining the tempo by threating the royal fork. Strange that my main goal here is to reposition the knight on e3. What can white do?... Well there are few moves to stop the fork Nh3 is one. But after Ne3+ Black runs into problems with Kc1 Qa5 Nb1 Rc8 or Ke2 Qa5 Nb1 Be6. Any queen move Qf3 Qg3 loses the knight to Ne3+. Ke2 was played. |
|
| |
|
|
15. Ke2 Qa5
|
Causing Nb1 however Nxb5 might be better. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Nb1 Be6
|
Threatens Bc4. Kd1 leads to the earlier lines with the Bishop already on e3. Bc4 Qd1 Ne3 Qc1 Bxf1. Qd1 Ne3 Qc1 Bc4+ Kf2(f3) Bxf1. Qf3 Bc4+ Kd1 Ne3+ Kc1 Ba3+ Kxa3 Qxa3+ Kd2 Qc3+ Kc1 Qxc2#. Qg3(h2) Bc4+ Kf3 Bxf1 |

Realizing things are bad he goes for this move. |

17... Ne3

c3 is now whites best choice. |
