This was only a quick play game, but leads to an interesting king side attack. |

|
|
|
1... Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4
|
So it starts as a Nimzo-Indian Defence. |

|
|
|
4. e3 O-O 5. Bd3 c5 6. Nge2 d5 7. a3 Bxc3+ 8. bxc3
|
This is all pretty standard. |

|
|
|
8... Na6
|
But this is a bit unusual. As the knight doesn't have prospects of going to b4 or c5 it doesn't look like a good square to me. |

|

9. O-O
|
I castle. |

|
|
|
9... b6
|
He prepares to fianchetto his bishop. |

|
|
|
10. f3
|
I prepare to advance in the centre. |

|
|
|
10... Bb7
|
He completes the fianchetto and put another piece attacking e4. |

|
|
|
11. Ng3
|
and I put another piece attacking e4 too. |

|
|
|
11... Qc7
|
He develops the queen. |

With the threat of taking on d5 and then on a6. |

|
|
|
12... Nb8
|
So his knight is more or less forced to retreat. |

I get rid of my doubled pawns. |

He takes back. |

|
|
|
14. e4
|
I advance in the centre. |

|
|
|
14... dxe4
|
He takes. |

I take back. |

|
|
|
15... cxd4
|
He takes again. |

I take back. We now have a classic position - white has the good pawn centre, but black is attacking it. |
