1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5
|
Ruy Lopez |
 
|
| |
|
|
3... a6
|
Pretty standard. |
|
| |
|
|
4. Ba4
|
Retreat variation. |
|
| |
|
|
4... Nf6
|
Morphy defense. |
|
| |
|
|
5. d4
|
5.d4!? This is some variation of the centre attack. I've never seen it ever being played. I think the idea is if 5. ... exd4 6. e5. This line shouldn't be too effective against Karpov. |
|
| |
|
|
5... exd4 6. O-O Be7
|
This transposes into the centre attack. Black develops the dark squared bishop while breaking the pin on his king. |
|
| |
|
|
7. e5
|
Attacks the knight and gains space. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Ne4
|
Nice position for the knight. Since the E file is closed, the square isn't so bad. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nxd4
|
Regains the lost pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
8... O-O
|
Black finally safeguards his king. |
|
| |
|
|
9. Nf5
|
Future threats on g7 and provoking d6 or g6. |
|
| |
|
|
9... d5
|
Attacks the knight. |
|
| |
|
|
10. Bxc6
|
Shatters blacks pawn structure. |
|
| |
|
|
10... bxc6 11. Nxe7+ Qxe7 12. Re1
|
Black doesn't want to play Qxe5 because that just drops a knight after f3. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Re8
|
This move is silent but deadly. It contains a little trap. |
|
| |
|
|
13. f3
|
It's understandable that you want to chase the knight away and open the file up. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Nd6
|
The knight is immune because if 14. exd6 qxe1+ 15. Qxe1 Rxe1+ 16. Kf2 Rxc1. Up a rook and in a winning position. |
|
| |
|
|
14. b3 Nf5
|
Black has more active pieces. White is still cramped and struggling to develop. |
|
| |
|
|
15. Ba3
|
Attacks the queen. This move isn't too effective as the e7 wasn't the best place for the queen. Better was probably Bb2. Nd2 is playable. |
|
| |
|
|
15... Qg5 16. Bb2
|
16. Bb2? A waste of time. He seems to know of blacks attack. Better here was Qd2 trying to exchange queens. |
