A game I played very lightly, but it came out to be a nice mate net. |
|
|
1. b3 d5 2. Bb2
|
Ok. This is nothing bad for white, he just looks for a transposition. But I decided to test his center... |

|
| |
|
|
2... d4
|
Completely "out of principles": two pawn moves of the same pawn in the opening. Let's see if he can grab advantage from it. |

|
| |
|
|
3. e3 e5 4. exd4 exd4
|
Again at the same point. |

|
| |
|
|
5. d3
|
Of course, black can't hold this pawn for too long, but if Nf3, B or pawn c5. |

|
| |
|
|
5... Bb4+
|
I'm glad if he plays c3: I will not have to protect anymore the pawn, and a piece will be pinned as a result. |

|
| |
|
|
6. Nd2
|
Ok. Now let's get rid of that pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
6... Bc3
|
White will be very surprised. I will lose that pawn, but I think that the tempoes will be enough for me to compensate. |

|
| |
|
|
7. Bxc3 dxc3 8. Nc4
|
Ne4, and I would have been glad if he takes the pawn, and Qf6. Just to force him to play defensively. (Do not try this at home :-) |

|
| |
|
|
8... Qe7+ 9. Qe2 Be6 10. Nf3
|
White has no easy way to take this pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
10... b5
|
Crazy, crazy and crazy. If Qd4, f6. |

Well: crazy means crazy. |

|
| |
|
|
11... Qa3
|
Another bad move. White can play Ng5, and I'll be in troubles. |

|
| |

12. g3
|
? He wants my Q to get apart from the game. |

12... Qb2
|
I accept. Do not do this: my Q is just off from the game. |

|
| |
|
|
13. Qd1
|
... W is defending again. |

13... Nc6 14. Qc1
|
Now it's my turn to get tempos. |

|
| |
|
|
14... Nf6 15. Bg2 O-O-O
|
Q will be exchanged, so this way I get rid of the dangerous diagonal, controlled by his N. |

|
| |
|
|
16. Nd1
|
Ok, now I have to exchange Q! |

|
| |
|
|
16... Qxc1 17. Rxc1 b4
|
...and now, my brave pawn is solidly placed! |

|
| |
|
|
18. O-O
|
...but I gave him the tempo to castle in a good position. |
