1. Nc3

Hi everyone, I just do not learn, I do not learn. This time I castled on the queenside at precisely the wrong moment and got eaten alive by Master Freddy. **Ah, Freddy, kittens have 9 lives as well as cats and I may well be back again Freddy, but now I lick my wounds as I contemplate the bite behind the Dunst Opening which transposes into a Sicilian Richter Rauzer attack to devastating effect. I follow a line in the World DB that is favourable to the Expert that played it, but, aha, I was playing a Master. Here is how I got ........... Mastered!
**N.B. My reference to kittens in this annotation relates to an article I wrote in the General Forums many moons ago regarding life on the Expert's playing field where I envisaged myself as a little white furry kitten that had strayed onto safari land where the big cats such as lions, tigers and hornets lurk, not to mention the blazing hot sun beamed out by lightotheright! Not surprisingly I get a cattermauling! |

1... c5 2. e4 Nc6 3. Nf3 d6 4. d4 cxd4 5. Nxd4 Nf6
|
5. ........... Nf6 - I choose Nf6 from the database because it is a developing move and bolsters d5. |

8. 0-0-0 - I think this is where it all transposes into the Richter-Rauzer. Maybe b5 is a good move here, but the most popular move in the db suggests Bd7 played by many an Expert and Master, so Bd7 it is. |

8... Bd7 9. f3 Be7 10. h4 h6

10. ........... h6 - the dsb is driven back to e3. |

11. Be3 Qc7 12. g4 Ne5

12. .......... Ne5 - puts pressure on f3. |

13. Rg1 Nc4 14. Bxc4 Qxc4 15. g5 hxg5 16. hxg5 Nh5
|
16. ......... Nh5 - still in the database but this knight is gonna be dim on the rim. |

But Freddy deviated with 18. Rh1 and because the knight was pinned to the rook on h1 I decided to castle queenside and Freddy said that it wasn't a very good move. Here comes the punishment ..........

20. ......... Kb8 - Henry evades a royal knight fork on b6, but ...... |

21. Qf2 Qxa2 22. Ba7+ Kc8 23. Nxe7+
|
23. Nxe7 ........... but I end up in Old Matey's Shadow and there is no way out but to wave the white flag. Henry can only go to c7 where the Witch will nab him on b6 and turn him into dust. What awesome stuff, Freddy - well played. Joanne |
