|
A surprising win against a 2000+ player (in blitz, of course). |
|
|
1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6
|
The Icelandic gambit. Inferior, but against a well prepared player. |
 
|
| |
|
|
3. c4
|
The "bad" move. |
|
| |
|
|
3... e6 4. dxe6 Bxe6
|
The thematic position. |
|
| |
|
|
5. b3
|
Correct, but not enough to stop black. |
|
| |
|
|
5... Bb4
|
Avoidin d4. Of course, h6 is a refutation, |
|
| |
|
|
6. Nc3
|
but white prefers to develop. |
|
| |
|
|
6... Qe7
|
The hidden threat. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Be2
|
Of course, or Bxc4. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Nc6
|
Thinking in Nd4, pressing e2. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nf3
|
Stopping it and developing. |
|
| |
|
|
8... O-O-O
|
Castling into the fire. |
|
| |
|
|
9. O-O
|
Castling into safety. |
|
| |
|
|
9... h6
|
Unsure about how to proceed, I stopped Ng5. |
|
| |
|
|
10. h3
|
Probably unsure about d4, white returned the tempo. |

10... g5
|
If I castled queenside, is in order to press on white's kingside. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Qc2
|
I feared Bb2, since my black diag is weak, but after Rh-g8, there is less danger. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Qd7
|
This is a good move, since threats Bf5. White can stop it, but... |
|
| |
|
|
12. Nh2
|
white chooses to retreat, and probably thinking about Ng4, exchanging some pieces and stopping the pressure. A great mistake. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Nd4
|
The bishop on e2 is half-threatened after BxNc3. |
|
| |
|
|
13. Qd3
|
Mistake, much better was Qd1, and accept to exchange the bishop. |
