1. e4
|
A common move for white. My usual opening. I also like c4, d4 and g3. |

|

|
|
1... e5
|
A common move for black. As black, I prefer e6. |

2. f4
|
My favorite opening. I like this opening, but lately I've been unlucky with it. I think I will try d4 and c4, which I've heard are better moves than e4 and f4 (Because of black playing e5 then d5). Lately every game I play goes 1.e4 e5,2.f4 exf4,3.Nf3 g5,4.Bc4 g4,5.Ne5 Qh4,
6.Kf1 Nh6,7.d4 d6,8.Nd3. What am I doing wrong? |

2... exf4
|
For those who don't know, my goal was to sacrifice a pawn to get a good attack on f7 (eventually) and to get a good center now that the pawn on e5 is gone. In most games, white will regain the pawn and will keep a good position. In other games, white will not regain the pawn, but will have a huge advance in development. Common moves for white now are Nf3, Bc4 and d4. |

3. Nf3
|
This move keeps pressure on the center and stops the black Queen from going to h4. |

|
| |
|
|
3... g5
|
The most common move at this point. Black will try a quick attack on the king in some games, and in others, the goal was to defend f4 I hear h4 is good for white, but I don't see it. |

4. Bc4

Continuing development. Usually my next move would be d4, but not in this game. |

|
| |
|
|
4... g4
|
I have several options here. I like Ne5, but I went with something new this time. |

5. O-O
|
White is sacrificing a knight for a huge advance in development. |

5... gxf3
|
If black doesn't take, my development would be great compared to black. |

|
| |
|
|
6. Qxf3
|
I have a bishop, Queen and rook all charging at f7. Black's goal is to defend without giving any pieces away. |

|
| |
|
|
6... Qf6
|
Qxf4 would ruin the entire point of the attack. |

|
| |
|
|
7. d3
|
Developing the bishop. |

|
| |
|
|
7... Nc6
|
Developing the knight. |

|
| |
|
|
8. Bxf4
|
My attack is still strong. I still have to think about attacking and trading as few pieces possible. |

|
| |
|
|
8... Nd4
|
2 most common moves are Qf2 and Qh5 for white. Qf2 is much more defensive, the opposite that I need to be know. |

|
| |
|
|
9. Qh5
|
Black has to be careful, my attack is getting stronger (Can you believe that I'm going to lose in 3 moves.). |

|
| |
|
|
9... Ne6
|
Black needs to defend. This was probobly the best move. |

|
| |
|
|
10. Be5
|
The winning move for me. I either win the Queen or rook. |

|
| |
|
|
10... Bc5+
|
If I would have played slower, I would have noticed d4, which wins. I would have also noticed that the white rook wasn't defended. |
