An uncommon opening for white... |

|
|
1... e5
|
Kings pawn |
|

2. a5 d5

Black continues to ignore the advancing pawn on the a file... |

|
5. d4
|
White struggles for center control |
|
| |
|

|
This was a mistake by black, allowing white to ruin blacks center pawn structure |
|

|
6. dxe5 Bxe5 7. Nf3 Bd6 8. axb7
|
a6 finally makes its presence known, attacking b7. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Bxb7
|
black does not mind taking b7 and potentially having an attacking diagonal for later in the game |
|
| |
|
|
9. c4 Nbd7 10. Nc3

this move took me quite a while..probably should have tried to pin Nc3... |
|

|
10... dxc4

another mistake by black, allowing whites light-squared bishop to attack and advance |
