|
Probably my best game on gameknot, quite proud of my attack. |
|
|
1. d4
|
My standard. |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... d6
|
This response isn't all that common and there is very little variation in what you see. |
|
| |
|
|
2. c4
|
Sticking to the gambit. |
|
| |
|
|
2... g6
|
My opponent decides to go into the modern defense. |
|
| |
|
|
3. Nc3 Bg7 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Bg5
|
Normally one would play e4 but I wanted to get the bishop outside of the pawn chain so I would have the option of e3. |
|
| |
|
|
5... O-O 6. e4
|
Though Bg5 is not often seen in the modern defense, it is a typical position for it. I'm fully willing to play into his book. |
|
| |
|
|
6... Nh5
|
? Breaking the pin but taking the knight out of the center. I immediatly see the opporutnity to capture there with the light bishop and after the exchange taking the pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Be2
|
I set my idea in motion. Also in my head is to push one of my pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Nd7
|
He realizes this and protects c5 and e5. However this blocks in the light bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Be3
|
Avoiding a threat on f6 and helping attack c5. |
|
| |
|
|
8... b6
|
Defending c5 and planning to fianchetto the bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
9. d5
|
Pushing the pawn that the knight doesn't attack. |
|
| |
|
|
9... Nhf6
|
Breaking the rule of not moving the same piece twice in the opening. Perhaps he feared an e5 pawn push, this was the last of the three pawns I was going to push. |
|
| |
|
|
10. O-O Ng4 11. Bd4
|
I would rather trade off bishops and place my knight on a strong square. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Nge5 12. Nxe5 Nxe5 13. f4
|
I normally hate pushing my king pawns but I can control the center this way, restrict the knight, and trade off bishops. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Nd7 14. Bxg7 Kxg7
|
I trade off bishops like I wanted to, this opens up his king early and I plan of taking advantage of that. I already envision my queen wreaking havoc in the center on d4. |
|
| |
|
|
15. Bg4
|
I launch my kingside attack and place pressure and further restriction on Black's light bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
15... Nf6 16. Bxc8
|
? Breaking the rule of not trading a good bishop for a poor one. This will serve me well on my assault of f7. |
|
| |
|
|
16... Qxc8 17. e5
|
The assault gains momentum and starts to get dangerous. I plan to remove the knight from protection and free up the f file. |
|
| |
|
|
17... dxe5 18. fxe5 Nd7 19. Qd4
|
Threatening a discovered check with e6! and Black loses his knight. |
|
| |
