1. Nf3 d6 |
....i tend to use this opening against all flank openings. Depending on Whites next few moves, you can set up a strong kingside attack. |
![]() | |
2. d3 |
...normal here would be c4 or d4, maybe even g3 and transpose to an English |
![]() | |
2... Bg4 |
...this is an annoying move for white and he has to deal with it, otherwise black automatically takes on f3 to upset the pawns and give some early targets.. |
![]() | |
3. Nbd2 e5 4. e4 Be7 |
continuing to develop...with e4, f5 will come in and look to castle 0-0-0 after Nc6 and continue with a kingside attack |
![]() | |
5. g3 Nc6 6. c3 |
...i think white needs to disrupt blacks activity.....maybe c4, Rb1 and then b4...? Black wants Bg2 to put the Queen on the same diagonal as Bg4 ... |
![]() | |
6... Qd7 7. h3 Bh5 8. Bg2 O-O-O |
...have to watch h4 and Bh3...I am prepared to sac material on the kingside here are white is not developing quick enough and the English is a solid but slow positional build.... |

9. h4 Kb8 |
..out of danger... |
![]() | |
10. Bh3 Bg4 |
...want the swap but not this time...but it prepares f5 if it is not taken.... |
![]() | |
11. Bg2 f5 12. exf5 Qxf5 |
...white needs to release the pin and create grief on the queen side....i thought a4/5 and b4 followed by Qb3 creates and major headache for black owing to the very strong long white bishop....given time.. |
![]() | |
13. O-O |
....white has a static queen side and black has 5 pieces that can come quickly to the kingside quickly....decided to tak advantage of the pin next...Qxd3 is on, and overlooked it for (what i thought) was a more aggressive plot...myself and the buddy are playing these games relatively quickly so no major analysis done... |
![]() | |
13... g5 |
..sure why not....? I can overcome Qb3 and prevent the possibility of white winning a piece (Ne1...and black mustbe careful of Bxc6) Blacks idea is simple, crack open the k side...was prepared to sac 2 pawns here....hxg5 and then h6 looking for Rxh6, Nf6 and Rfh8... |
