third game with nuntar. Always a pleasure, because there is no surprise during the opening, and then we can try "things". Here is the case, though I am convinced my friend didn't play the end very clearly |

I see no reason to dislike this situation. On the contrary: I open the queen side and keep an average center. |

recuperating the pawn... without the bishop. |

expose the possibility of Bxf3 and disabling the castling, but I guess black was not very open to the possibility of a second opened colum, right on the king side. |

both camp castled... White has to concentrate the battle on the queen side. |

the idea was double: or you change, and I reconstruct my pawns line (which happened), or you go away and lose a tempo. |

seems obvious... though this will lead to gain. |

preventing Ne4? Yes, but mostly preparing the rooks doubling on a column |

starting the progression. I am not sure black saw the coupled possibility of b4-b5 with the bishop e2 and the two rooks before the next move. |
|
| |
|
|
15... Ne4
|
this move, though apparently placing a good knight, has no perspective: c3 and d2 are protected. |
|

now, if b5, axb loses a rook and Bxb5, Bxb5 axb too. So the main perspective here is to lose a pawn... |
|
| |
|
|
16... Nb6
|
but black wants to preserve the pawn by giving the possibility to play axb. |
|
| |
|
|
17. c4
|
well, then, we are going to get more soldiers.. on b5? |
|
| |
|
|
17... h6 18. c5
|
NO! we eliminate a defensor. |
|
| |
|
|
18... Nd5 19. b5
|
and here is the combination previously announced. |
|
| |
|
|
19... Bd7
|
so, just potentially loses a pawn. |
|

|
before taking the pawn, white viewed other advantage: as we are three on the pawn, we can allow ourselves to double the attack with this centralized knight. As black moves' Nd2 is without consequence, we can liberate our f3-defender and make him attack the bishop |
