Hope this game turns out interesting after me giving it that title !

The French defence , which I most commonly use against 1.e4 |
|

|
|
2. d3
|
Unusual move here. Blocks in his own white squared bishop , but has me on relatively unknown ground already as far as this opening is concerned..but continue as normal I think |

Usual 2nd move for French defence |

More unusual opening moves ! Must be trying to get me onto unfamiliar ground for sure. Now both his bishops are blocked in though |

Again the standard 3rd move |

4. Ngf3 Nc6 5. a3 Qc7

More commonly I would go to B6 with the Queen here , puttin pressure on the b2 pawn , but his bishop seems stuck on c1 for a while yet , so the long diagonal looks more useful |

Bishop developed of sorts and clear for castling. Looking a bit cramped for white though . Lets see if it stays like that |

8... Bd6

I liked the idea of Q B linked along this diagonal , also dont want his pawn to go to E5 |

My pawn on d4 is looking weak I can support it with p-e5 , but that blocks my 2 pieces on the open diagonal |
|

10... a6

Solely to prevent that pawn going one square further for now |

Trying to block any more pawn advances Queenside |

12. O-O Bb7

This now gives me both bishops acting together on long diagonals. Hopefully will become stronger once the centre opens up |

Now we see an unusual position for white with all those pieces on back rank ! |
|

14... Rad8

Indirectly lending support to advanced pawn |
|
| |
|
|
15. Nb3
|
Which he applies pressure to immediately ! |

Not to keen on using this pawn to support pawn on D4 as it blocks the diagonal that my Queen and Bishop are on , but I think I have no other alternative |

Always best to deal with pins immediately I think |
