This game starts out as an alhekine where black plays d5 early on this allows white to gain a lot of space so black sacrifices a piece for activity . Though the activity is not enough and eventually black falls. |
|
|
1. e4 Nf6 2. e5 Nd5 3. c4 Nb6 4. d4
|
Following along main lines. |
 
|
| |
|
|
4... d5
|
d5?! This move gains center space but after c5 black's knight is forced to c4 where it is dying to get trapped , or d7 when after nc3 , c6 black has a very hard time activating his pieces. |
|
| |
|
|
5. c5 Nc4
|
Black decides to , essentially, sacrifice a piece as he wastes a lot of time getting his knight back to c6. |
|
| |
|
|
6. Nf3 Bg4
|
Pinning the knight but it just gives up the two Bishops after h3, better is Bf5. |
|
| |
|
|
7. b3
|
Forcing the knight to a5. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Bxf3 8. Qxf3 Nc6
|
Black decided to sacrifice his c4 knight because after Na5 white gets the superior game because of white's extra space and black's hard development. |
|
| |
|
|
9. bxc4 Nxd4 10. Qc3 Nf5
|
Better would be dxc5 but the sacrifice is already wearing off. |
|
| |
|
|
11. cxd5 Qxd5 12. Bb2 Qe4+ 13. Be2 Qxg2 14. Qf3
|
Now black is almost forced to trade queens as after Qg5 Qxb7 white is clearly better. Though white could of played Bf3 and won the b7 pawn I played Qf3 because I was up material. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Qxf3 15. Bxf3 O-O-O 16. Nd2 e6 17. Ne4 Nh4 18. Ke2 f5
|
f5?! this creates a big weakness on e6 after Ng5 not to mention the fork threat of Nf7. |
|
| |
|
|
19. Ng5 Rd7 20. Nxe6 Ng6
|
Black moves back his knight. Better was Nxf3 Kxf3 Rd2 when black get's rooks on the seventh. |
|
| |
|
|
21. Rad1 Rxd1 22. Rxd1
|
Now white is in control and black has the awkward development. |
|
| |
|
|
22... Be7 23. Nxg7
|
White wins another pawn . |
|
| |
|
|
23... f4 24. c6
|
I try to break up the queenside and introduce mating threats of Rd8 later in the game but another idea is e6 threatening N discoveries and Rd7. |
|
| |
|
|
24... bxc6
|
Black should play b6 as this wrecks his queenside and activates my bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
25. Bxc6 Rg8 26. Nf5 Rd8
|
This loses the exchange by force and the game as black will be down heavily by material. |
|
| |
|
|
27. Nxe7+
|
Removing the defender of the d8 rook. |
|
| |
|
|
27... Nxe7 28. Bb7+
|
! And decoying the king away . The sacrifice must be accepted as Kb8 Rxd8 and white wins a tempo from the line played. |
|
| |
|
|
28... Kxb7 29. Rxd8 h6
|
Better would probably be to activate his knight but black's doomed. |
|
| |
|
|
30. Rd7 Nf5 31. e6 Kc8 32. Bf6 h5 33. Rd8+ Kb7 34. e7 Nxe7
|
Forced to stop queening. |
|
| |
|
|
35. Bxe7 c6 36. Rf8 Kc7 37. Rxf4 Kd7 38. Re4 Kc7 39. Bc5
|
With this move white plans to play Re7 and then bring his king over to checkmate , which can't be stopped. |
