2. c4
|
I played c4 here with the intention of playing the Queen's Gambit |
|
| |
|
|
2... c6
|
Black transpose in Slav Defense which is a very solid for black. |
|
| |
|

3. cxd5

I always capture the d pawn, I followed the example of Czech GM Salo Flohr |
|
| |
|
|
3... cxd5 4. Nf3

Nf3 to control the e5 square |
|
| |
|
|

This move make the position symmetrical. |

5. g3
|
I preparing to fianchetto my king bishop. I admired the great Akiba Rubinstein with his idea by this move. |
|
| |
|
|
5... Nc6
|
The logical move, black can also try 5.. g6 then Bg7 preparing for king castle |
|
| |
|
|
6. Bg2
|
Exert pressure on d5 square |
|
| |
|
|
6... e6
|
This move e6 is always takes a time for me to ponder when I'm playing black, because it would block the bishop activity in kingside, one of the possibility this bishop can supported by queen, he can remove the white bishop in g2 which is the best guard of white king. On the other hand e6 support the d pawn and open the activity of king's bishop possible to b4 square. |

7. O-O
|
Just like all of my games I always prefer early castling for the activity of the rook. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Be7 8. Nc3
|
Add the pressure in d5 square |
|
| |
|
|
8... O-O 9. Bg5
|
I played this move for the sake of development of my rook in c1 square. I can anticipate the h6 since I decide to exchange my bishop to knight in f6 |
|
| |
|
|
9... b6
|
The logical move, with the intention of black playing Ba6, Na5. Rc8 to dominate the c file. |
|
| |
|
|
10. Rc1
|
attacking the knight in c6 and as well the normal square of white queen's rook |
|
| |
|
|
10... Bb7 11. Ne5
|
All of my plan here is how to control the center, then switch the attack to black's king. American chess genius Harry Nelson Pillsburry popularized this strategy by planting the knight in e5 square. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Rc8
|
Black challenging my rook in c1 square |
|
| |
