1. b4
|
the polish or sokolsky opening |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... e5
|
establishing a hold on the center |
|
| |
|
|
2. Bb2
|
offers to trade the pawn on b4 for the pawn on e5 |
|
| |
|
|
2... d6
|
in retrospect, i should really have traded and then continued develping, but this isnt so bad |
|
| |
|
|
3. e3
|
preparing a push to d4 |
|
| |
|
|
3... Bf5
|
developing, aiming at the queenside |
|
| |
|
|
4. Qf3
|
attacks the bishop and the pawn on b7 |
|
| |
|
|
4... Bxc2
|
i decide to open the game up and possibly trap his queen in the corner |
|
| |
|
|
5. Qxb7 Nd7
|
develops the knight to its only safe square, protects the rook and stops the queen from check on c6 |
|
| |
|
|
6. Bb5
|
threatens Bxd7 either opening the king, or winning a rook if i blunder |
|
| |
|
|
6... Ngf6
|
protects the knight |
|
| |
|
|
7. a3
|
not too sure about what this move accomplishes |
|
| |
|
|
7... Rb8
|
the queen is almost trapped, if he takes the pawn then 8. Be4 basically wins the queen for a rook |
|
| |
|
|
8. Bxd7+
|
trading, "winning a pawn" |
|
| |
|
|
8... Nxd7 9. Qxa7 Be4
|
the queen needs to retreat along the a file |
|
| |
|
|
10. f3
|
terrible mistake, after 10. Ra8 the queen is sunk |
|
| |
|
|
10... Ra8 11. Qxa8
|
getting a rook at least, also opens the queenside for later attacks |
|
| |
|
|
11... Bxa8
|
taking with the queen isnt bad, as it opens up his kingside, but i was playing conservatively |
|
| |
|
|
12. Ne2
|
developing, preparing to castle |
|
| |
|
|
12... g6
