1. d4 Nf6 2. e3 b6 3. Nf3 Bb7 4. c4 e6 5. Bd3
|
Having lost several games one after another I am trying to play very carefully. Builing up something like a Colle system. |
 
|
| |
|
|
5... d6
|
Very quite too. Black and White still haven't "touched" each other. |
|
| |
|
|
6. O-O
|
Usual development - preparing rook to e1 and Queen to c2 to increase pressure on e4 (which will eventually follow) |
|
| |
|
|
6... Be7
|
Black wants to castle too |
|
| |
|
|
7. Nc3
|
Developing another piece - more pressure on e4 |
|
| |
|
|
7... O-O 8. e4
|
Occupying more space and thinking about attacking knight on f6 - main black king defender. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Nbd7 9. Qc2
|
Aligning queen with the bishop on d3 - preparing attack on h7 once the black knight is removed. |
|
| |
|
|
9... g6
|
As a rule says - Delay your castling pawns moves as long as you can. By moving this pawn black created a weakness on black squares. |
|
| |
|
|
10. Bh6
|
which white is trying to use - developing bishop with a tempo |
|
| |
|
|
10... Re8
|
has to move. White has advantage in terms of space. |
|
| |
|
|
11. h3
|
Preventing black knight from developing to g4 - white want black to stay in that "compact" state. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Bf8
|
Obviously, black doesn't like that white bishop |
|
| |
|
|
12. Qd2
|
Since attack on h7 is not going to happen, moving queen to a better square protecting the bishop |
|
| |
|
|
12... Bg7
|
Surprise - This black bishop can become quite strong on this diagonal. Also it is a black king defender |
|
| |
|
|
13. Bxg7
|
... so better to remove it. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Kxg7 14. e5
|
Trying to open up this position a little |
|
| |
|
|
14... Ng8 15. Ng5
|
... with the idea of Qf4 |
|
| |
|
|
15... dxe5
|
Black also doesn't mind to open it up. |
|
| |
|
|
16. d5
|
keeping black's white-squared bishop diagonal closed. Pawn on e5 is weak. |
|
| |
|
|
16... exd5
|
fighting for these central squares. |
|
| |
