1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nxd4 c5
|
Leaves a big gaping hole on d5, and also weakens b5 slightly. |
 
|
| |
|
|
5. Nf3
|
The proper retreat square, keeping an eye on e5. |
|

Black needs to think about castling. Nf6 might have been better. There's little point in pinning the knight at this point because it's not threatening anything. |
|
| |
|
|
6. Be2 Nf6
|
A good move, preparing to castle. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Nc3 Qe7
|
Be7 was necessary. |
|
| |
|
|
8. O-O
|
White sees that his e4 pawn isn't really in danger. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Nxe4
|
Black takes the bait. |

9. Nxe4 Qxe4 10. Re1
|
If the queen doesn't move, Bb5 wins the queen, whether or not it's check. Black's only try is Qb4, but even here, he's in trouble. |
|

|
|
10... Qc6 11. a4
|
White could have won the queen right away with Bb5 !. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Qc7
|
Now White has a forced mate. |
