1. c4 g6
c5 or e5 is played the most. c4 is the first move of the english opening. If someone donot know it, can symmetrical play for 3-5 moves.

 
2. d4
white moves his pieces to the centre, black wants to control it. So blacks' position will be passive for awhile, but with a c5 or e5 later can open the position.

 
2... Bg7
the best place for the bishop by g6. g6 has its' problem. White can play later an h4-h5, if blacks' position not good enough.

 
3. Nf3
white plays for developing. First the knights and then the bishops.

 
3... b6
black moves her another bishop to the long diagonal, too - maybe the best centrecontroller structure.

 
4. Bf4
Another developing move. b2 is weak with it and the g7Bishop has its' pressure on the d4 pawn, too. After e3 this bishop would be isolated, but playable, too.

 
4... Bb7
Totally control of the centre.

 
5. e3
give a diagonal to the f1Bishop and planning the 0-0 to ending the opening and developing.

 
5... Nf6
black ends the development, too with 0-0 next. Black has no weakpoints yet.

 
6. Nc3 O-O 7. Bd3 Ng4
This attack is too early. Blacks' pieces arenot developed. First Nc6! - maybe after e6 and d5.

8. h3
There was ceartinly better moves with tempowin, but I donot like, when the opponents' pieces attacking.

 
8... Nf6
If Nh6, then I exchange my bishop on h6, and black lost her very good defending piece for my small territorier bishop.

 
9. O-O
I have ended my development.

 
9... Bxf3
Maybe better is, if black holds the bishoppair with strong pressure on the centre.

10. Qxf3
white has four attacking pieces with good pawnstructure, so my position must better to be, but black has no weakpoints still.

 
10... Na6
Black could move c6, Nc6, d5 or this. I think c6 or this is the best. this with c5 next.

 
11. a3
Preventing Nb4 with attack on my bishop.

 
11... c5 12. Be5
I want to exchange my bad bishop for a defender piece on the kingside.
