1. f4
bird opening

 
1... d5 2. c4
Sturm gambit

 
2... e6 3. cxd5 Nf6
living the e pawn to take, irresistible temptation ! Then, black will stay with a BIG HOLE in the center.

 
4. dxe6 Bxe6
2 pieces out, but no center. It will be easy to develop for white.

 
5. Nf3 Nc6 6. e3
preventing Nd4

 
6... Bd6 7. a3
preventing N o B b4 before to adva

 
7... O-O 8. Be2 Re8 9. O-O a6 10. d4 Bd5 11. Nc3
Now we are ready for fight ! In order to place the f3 knight in e5 to provoke an exchange and open f colon retaking with f4, i need to take first the lsb to prevent a dangerous sacrifice in g2

 
11... Ne7
preparing attack on the e3 weak pawn

 
12. Nxd5 Nexd5
so i have to defend e3, or cancel one of the two threats. I will choose this last option in order to go n developing my plan (open f colon ...etc.)

 
13. Ne5 Qe7
will place the f6 knight in e4, then advance f7 to kick my e5 knight and go on on his plan (attack e3)

 
14. Bf3
so preventing Ne4

 
14... Rad8

15. Qb3
double threat on d5 knight, pursuing to attack f7

 
15... c6 16. Bd2 Qc7 17. Rac1
i will win the d5 knight if black exchange dsb with my e5 knight...

 
17... Bxe5
exchanging

 
18. fxe5
retaking, and now the f6 knight protector of d5 has to move !

 
18... Rxe5
oh ! what a nice calculation ! black is -3 anyway, and this was the best option in order to not to break the king castle. But this is ignoring the fact that two rook together are much more powerful, and even more in endings games....

 
19. dxe5 Qxe5 20. Bxd5
to get out the f6 knight in order to threaten f7

 
20... Nxd5 21. Ba5
i plan to sacrifice my knight : 21. Ba5 b6 22. Bxb6 Kd5xb6 23.Qxf7+ Kh8 24.Qf8+ Rd8xf8 25.Rf1xf8#

 
21... Re8
accurate dodge
