A very interesting NOT BLITZ game, specially the final position and its tactics. It would be interesting, I think, to share thoughts about the game. |

1... d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. d4
|
The wisest answer, I almost never face. Now, taking the pawn is recommended, but I also tried Bf5, even if it not in the spirit of the opening. |

3... Nxd5 4. a3
|
A solw move, many would say. But it is true that Nb4 can be soon a threat. White is not at ease coping with this knight unless with some theory behind. |

4... Bf5 5. Nf3 e6

Uncommitting developement moves. Black is not in a hurry to play e5 and open the column, since it not any ahead in reaching castling. |

Finally. |

6... Nf6

...or Nb6. I can't decide which is better, but I am not too experienced with c5 and this "can't be bad". Even so, the game is pretty "slow" for our standards. |

7. Nc3 Be7

This is a move I consider almost as a defeat, since it doesn't threaten anything. But I have to castle if I want some attacking chances. |

Testing my cool blood? :-) |

Now that I know I can castle whenever I want, I better take care of my complete developement. This knight goes here because I want to keep the c pawn free to defend (c6) or attack (c5) at any moment. |

9. O-O c6
|
Well, now I feel really safe. White has some more space, but it is not clear how to take advantage of it right now. |

A profilactic move... my, this is going to be slow. But I think that white should have taken the chance to occupy the black diagonal with Bf4 at once. So maybe this was not a good move. |

Of course, I go into the diag myself! |

Not that the dsb is misplaced here. |

11... O-O-O

!? Falling just into the enemy's fire. A mistake, I would say, but black's position seems able to stand it. I've played successfully against such attaks in a number of games. |

Here it goes. |

Reducing white's forces. |

Solidifying c6. |

14. Nd2 Nf6
|
I give up my bishop, but white's attack it's being distracted for the moment. I'm not progressing in attacking white's kinside, of course, but hey, I'm black... |

If f3, Nc3. This move piles up to b5 and b7, and looks frightening. |
|

|
16... Bg5
|
Again: I have to exchange my good pieces for the even better white one's. |
