1. e4
|
Standard opening. |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... e6
|
French defense |
|
| |
|
|
2. Nf3
|
Nf3. Not the most common move, but still pretty good. More usual would be d4. |
|
| |
|
|
2... c5
|
c5. A push for space, as in the Sicilian Defense. The c5 pawn lets the Q come to b6, and the N can slot in behind the pawn at c6. |
|
| |
|
|
3. d4
|
d4. This move is ultimately going to get the Q out early, or move the N twice, but is a good push for space. |
|
| |
|
|
3... cxd4
|
cxd4 - after a recapture, Black can develop while attacking. |
|
| |
|
|
4. Nxd4
|
Nxd5 - moving the N twice. |
|
| |
|
|
4... Bc5
|
Bc5 - Attacking the N, and developing the B. |
|
| |
|
|
5. Nf3
|
Nf3 - third N move. May have been better to play something like Nc3 instead. |
|
| |
|
|
5... Qb6
|
Qb6 - attacking f2, and, if the B on c1 is moved, b2. Aggressive. |
|
| |
|
|
6. Qd2
|
Qd2. This blocks in the B, but defends the pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
6... Nf6
|
Nf6. Develop again, and attack again. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Bd3
|
Bd3, developing and defending. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Nc6
|
Another development move. |
|
| |
|
|
8. O-O
|
Castling - another development. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Ng4
|
Ng4, very aggressive. There is not actually a threat as yet. |
|
| |
|
|
9. b4
|
b4? pawn sacrifice. This was not needed, although it was probably an attempt to divert attention from f2. |
|
| |
|
|
9... Nxb4
|
Capture, and bring the other N into the attack. |
|
| |
|
|
10. h3
|
h3 - trying to take pressure off. |

10... Nxd3
|
This was in hope that he would take with the Q. Also, it swapped off (which when winning is usually a good idea. |
