|
Exploring the Icelandic. |
 
|
| |
|
|
3. c4
|
This is considered inferior. |
|
| |
|
|
3... e6 4. dxe6 Bxe6 5. Nf3 Nc6
|
Bc5 doesn't stop d4, and Bb4 is easily rejected by a3. |
|
| |
|
|
6. d4
|
I hope for this. |
|
| |
|
|
6... Bb4+ 7. Nc3 Qe7
|
Can you see the trick? |
|
| |
|
|
8. Be2
|
Ah, ok, it won't be that easy. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Bxc4
|
...but sure funnier! |
|
| |
|
|
9. O-O
|
If BxN, BxB, and I have to take care of Re1, so... |
|
| |
|
|
9... Bxe2 10. Qxe2 Qxe2 11. Nxe2
|
Ok, starts the midgame. |
|
| |
|
|
11... O-O-O 12. a3 Bd6 13. Bg5
|
And this, of course doubles my pawns at the cost of the bishop. An acceptable trade. |
|
| |
|
|
13... h6 14. Bxf6 gxf6 15. Rad1 Rde8
|
I know I can't stop the pawn so easily, so I want to use my lines: e and g. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Ng3 h5
|
This little annoying pawn is the last hope to make the game exciting. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Nf5
|
NOrmal, is Re6, BxB, RxN, etc. etc. Let's try something. |
|
| |
|
|
17... Bf4 18. d5
|
Ok, just as I want. |
|
| |
|
|
18... Ne5
|
If white doesn't care, there will be another trick coming soon. |
|
| |
|
|
19. d6
|
Scaring, eh? but... |
|
| |
|
|
19... Kd8
|
If dxc+, K takes, and then I get hidden in b8. |
|
| |
|
|
20. Ng7
|
Daring white. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Reg8
|
Is the knight lost? Not at all. |
|
| |
|
|
21. Nxe5
|
...but the knight f3 was, if white doesn't play this move. |
|
