1. c4
|
This is a fairly short game from my tournament |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... b5
|
Starting position |
|
| |
|
|
2. e4 Bb7 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d3 e5 5. Nxb5 c6
|
Although this blocks in my lsb it opens a line for my queen to a5 |
|
| |
|
|
6. Nc3 Bc5 7. Nf3 Qb6 8. Na4 Qa5+ 9. Bd2 Bb4 10. Be2 Bxd2+ 11. Kf1
|
Blunder, surely Nxd2 is better |
|
| |
|
|
11... Bb4
|
As white has given me a freebie I retreat my bishop so I can hang on to it |
|
| |
|
|
12. b3 O-O 13. h3 d5
|
Tempting white to take the e5 pawn |
|
| |
|
|
14. Nxe5
|
which he does |
|
| |
|
|
14... dxe4
|
now his knight has limited options, the best probably being Ng4 as I won't take it because it will create a half open file for whites h rook to exploit |
|
| |
|
|
15. g3
|
blunders away another piece |
|
| |
|
|
15... Qxe5 16. d4 Qf5
|
Directly pressuring the area around whites king |
|
| |
|
|
17. Kg2 c5
|
This sacrificial move was too tempting for me to resist. I now have some threat with the exposed check from e3+ |
|
| |
|
|
18. dxc5 e3+
|
White is in big trouble now, the most direct threat being Qxf2 |
|
| |
|
|
19. f3 Nbd7
|
Looking to bring some more forces into the attack |
|
| |
|
|
20. g4 Qf4
|
Black is very weak on the black squares so my queen is pretty safe here |
|
| |
|
|
21. Nb2
|
Probably looking to fork my queen and bishop with Nd3 however that plan is too slow white needed something more immediate e.g. Qd6 |
|
| |
|
|
21... Ne4
|
I was very pleased with this move, white is now under severe pressure. |
|
| |
|
|
22. fxe4
|
A fatal mistake as my queen now has a clear line to the lovely f2 square |
|
| |
|
|
22... Qf2#
|
Thanks for reading please comment. |
