A good opening, a series of mistakes by white, and a good engame well executed |
|
|
1. d4
|
Black takes advantage of a series of blunders by white to earn a win through mate |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... d5
|
A queen opening. I choose to match white in the middle of the board and see how the opening progresses. |
|
| |
|
|
2. Nc3
|
I am under immediate pressure |
|
| |
|
|
2... e6
|
I choose defense |
|
| |
|
|
3. Bf4
|
WHite is ahead in development and pressing me firmly |
|
| |
|
|
3... a6
|
I protect against the attack on C2 and the fork to follow |
|
| |
|
|
4. Nh3
|
White continues to develop his minor pieces, I am lagging seriously behind |
|
| |
|
|
4... Nf6
|
So I step up my efforts to catchup in development |
|
| |
|
|
5. g3
|
I see white building a castle |
|
| |
|
|
5... g6
|
and I follow suite |
|
| |
|
|
6. Bg2 Bg7 7. O-O O-O
|
The castles constructed, I breathe a sigh of relief. I do not like my King so exposed |
|
| |
|
|
8. Na4
|
A move I do not fully understand. White is trying to ....do what.....???????????? |
|
| |
|
|
8... Re8
|
I continue my castle development and my opneing sequence |
|
| |
|
|
9. Qd3
|
So white brings the Queen. This gives white control of much of mys side of the board I suppose, so in one sense, white is well ahead. |
|
| |
|
|
9... Nbd7
|
Undaunted, I continue to open the game |
|
| |
|
|
10. Qd2
|
See, this is what I call a wasted move. White could have done this a move earlier, and then I would have had to react then, bit I did not worry about it until now. |
|
| |
|
|
10... Ne4
|
OK, so I threaten the queen and force a retreat |
|
| |
|
|
11. Qe3
|
Well at least that is what I thought would occur |
|
| |
|
|
11... e5
|
So instead I challenge the bishop |
|
| |
|
|
12. dxe5
|
oops..... |
