Hi everybody. Here's a small and sharp game I played against Surtur.
This is my first annotation, I'll try not to be boring. When there's nothing special I won't leave any comments on the move.
Click on "interactive" if you're not accustomed to the Algebraic notation or if you prefer to see the pieces moving on the board. |

1. e4
|
I'm white in this game.
I often play e4 because you can transpose it afterwards to lots and lots of systems of pawns and pieces (i.e. Scotch opening, Centre game, Kings Indian Attack, and so on.) and also because it can be very sharp |

1... c5

The Sicilian Defence. A very good and common response for black against e4 but it can be risky too if black's not accustomed to it. |

2. Nf3 d6 3. d4
|
The Chekhover variation (B53) from the Sicilian
I like this move a lot, it's opening good lines for white and weakning the queenside of the black player
EDIT : It isn't the Chekhover variation, it's the main line (thanks to fatcat) |

3... cxd4 4. Nxd4

Qxd4 is also playable but, in the first moves, a Knight in the centre is a better advantage than a queen in the centre, in my opinion |

4... Nc6 5. Nc3
|
The two white knights are now very powerful. The two white bishops are controlling full lines and are free of movement.
A good position for white, much more developed than black are (black bishop totally blocked, unable to castle) and with very space |

5... Nf6 6. Bg5

Quite an agressive move. An exchange, maybe? |
|
| |
|
|
6... e5
|
?! The first idea is to gain space but it's pining his Queen and complicating the game very early with various possible exchange variants. |

7... gxf6 was strangely better |

The d4 Knight is still under attack. I attack a bigger piece to "protect" it
This move places the Knight in centre, the best position for him. |

Checkmate.
With only two Knights and my Queen I won in a very short game.
What do you think about that ?
