1. e4 c5

e5 might have been better |

Setting up to open the centre early |

Forcing by taking contol of the centre |

|
4. Nxd4
|
if no exchange on d4, I would play Bc4 or Nc3 |
|

4... Nxd4
|
opening up |
|

5. Qxd4
|
Centralising my Queen - Now you will note that the black pawns are blocking in all his pieces except the Queen and there has to be pawn movement to open up and develop |
|
| |
|
|
5... e6 6. Nc3
|
1-0 minor pieces |
|
| |
|
|
6... Ne7
|
Stil 1-0 as his knight now blocks the line that was opened for the queen and bishop - but he was scared of e5 - which would chace the knight around.... |
|
| |
|
|
7. Bc4
|
2-0 minor pieces |
|
| |
|
|
7... Nc6 8. Qe3
|
2-1 minor pieces |
|
| |
|
|
8... b6 9. Nb5
|
Here I saw the fianchetto comming, but without a c pawn to anchor it I thought I might try to get the a pawn out or get my Knight in his face - which is always dangerous - and you will see how costly this was |
|
| |
|
|
9... Bb7 10. Qg3
|
I wanted to stop Be7 or c5 which would have been nice development for him and- also looking at Nc7 - and this would stop black from castling queen side - while I had the bishop allocated to defence of g7 - there would thus be no castling..... or atleast not without blood loss |
|
| |
|
|
10... Rc8 11. Bf4
|
I wanted to force the issue on c7 which he could not further defend - except with a bad move |
|
| |
|
|
11... e5 12. Bxe5
|
Going one pawn up - note that untill now white had 3 active minor pieces against a knight that blocked in his bishop and another bishop that has to defend g7 |
|
| |
|
|
12... Nxe5 13. Qxe5+
|
Up to here I had planned, and I liked what I saw - but then the gift that kept on giving Qe7 - in hind sight Be7 looked worse to me, but it would be less costly...... |
|
| |
|
|
13... Qe7 14. Nd6+
|
So here we have the windmill!! Starting with a check and ending in victory!
Note that the King only has D8 & E8 open and as long as I could keep him in check I could clean up around him
black can also never take the white queen as every move forces him from one square to another - keeping him in check
I worked it out to find the best combination |
