1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qe5+ 4. Be2 c6 5. Nf3 Qc7 6. d4 Bf5
|
All completely standard so far (for me). |
 
|
| |
|
|
7. Bg5
|
First original move, out of my personal database. It is interesting. f6 cames to mind inmediately, but black has to do ready for safe castling before he can play this. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Nd7
|
As always, the correct move here is d5 by white, preventing my castling. But... |
|
| |
|
|
8. Bh4
|
Threatening to press against the g3 diag. |
|
| |
|
|
8... f6
|
So I made a very risky move, just to see if the idea of blocking white's dsb's action will succeed. |
|
| |
|
|
9. Bg3 e5 10. dxe5 fxe5 11. O-O O-O-O
|
The pawn holds for now, and my developement moves seem to support it easily. |
|
| |
|
|
12. Qc1
|
Probably thinking in Qg5, or just to take away the queen from the discovered. It gives me a tempo but a potential threat on the d column. |
|
| |
|
|
12... h6
|
I know people tend to criticize such moves, but Be7 seemed to me too passive (my dsb belongs to d6 or c5), and a knight move would have allowed Qg5, with annoying pressure on e5 ans g7. So IMO this phrophylactic move is dued. |
|
| |
|
|
13. Bc4
|
A tempo white has to lose if he wants to pressure with the rooks on the center. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Ngf6 14. Re1 Bd6
|
That's it. I could have tried to free the queen from the pin sooner, but I "used" the defence of the e pawn as a way to fully develop. Now the position seems roughly equal to me. Once released the pin on the queen, d4 becomes a sort o threat, but it is useless. |
|
| |
|
|
15. Bd3 g6
|
I know I couldn't have pushed the pawn to e4, but this way if he takes the bishop he makes me a present: the g column. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Ne4
|
The dsb seems such a good piece for black that one's instinct is to protect it, but chess is not made of sentimentalism. |
|
| |
|
|
16... Nxe4
|
I would have left this knight for h5, but I calculate the other knight would go there. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Bxe4 Nf6
|
Again, BxB is good for me, so why lose this chance? |
|
| |
|
|
18. Bxf5+ gxf5
|
Juicy pawns in front of two minor pieces... chuckle, I have to be accurate exploiting them. |
|
| |
|
|
19. h3
|
I missed the obvious Ne4 because the bishop is somewhat safe on h4. |
|
| |
|
|
19... Rdg8
|
Not Rh because of Qxh3, and I am not still ready to cope with this, even if it frees my columns against the white king. |
|
| |
|
|
20. c4
|
Very nice. Now my dominion on the black diagonal is compromised, unless I go c5. Probably the wise choice, but for b4!, and white gets open columns over my king, that could be annoying. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Nh5
|
Not Ne4 because of Rxe4, fxR, c5, exN?, cxBd6, Qd7! (if Qxd6, Bxe4, forking Q and Rook), Bxe4 could have compensate white for the exchange. |
|
| |
|
|
21. Bh2 f4
|
Bad move, since it allows c5. True is that e is no longer a problem, while 21... e4 would have exchanged pieces (22. BxB, QxB, Nh4) with c5 to come - nothing terrible, but... |
