I chose to annotate this game because i played better in it, in terms of sacrifices and maintaining my agressive stance than in any other game i've played... Although i'll admit i made some mistakes as well .... I'm playing black
Big thanks to my opponent lethalia for the fun game |

1... Nf6 2. h3
|
not a very agressive second move, i think this negates most of his advantage as white.... a recurrant theme for white in the beginning of this game seems to be defensive moves |
|
| |
|
|
2... d5 3. Bf4 Nc6 4. e3 e6 5. a3
|
looks like my knights arn't going anywhere anytime very agressive anytime soon |
|
| |
|
|
5... Bd6
|
the advantage for white of his pawn structure severly limits my dark bishop ... so i offer to trade for his |
|
| |
|
|
6. Bh2
|
offer declined.... but in such a way as to prevent a break in his pawn structure |
|
| |
|
|
6... Ne4
|
what was i thinking here? if he plays f3, i have to retreat, but the knight on his kingside will only be able to go to e2, perhaps i should have made a more agressive decision |
|
| |
|
|
7. Nf3 Bxh2
|
i should have traded bishops before making that last move in order to prevent him from castling and to cause him to waste a move getting his rook back to his back rank.... hindsight is 20 20 |
|
| |
|
|
8. Nxh2 Qf6
|
i want to position my queen activly on the kingside but i don't choose a very good spot |
|
| |
|
|
9. Ng4
|
good move by white... i obviously chose the wrong square for that queen last move |
|
| |
|
|
9... Qf5 10. Be2
|
better might be d3 to pin my knight to my queen |
|
| |
|
|
10... b6 11. O-O
|
at this point i think my pieces are slightly more active but i don't really have a difinative plan to penetrate his defences |
|
| |
|
|
11... h5
|
i was trying to force his knight to h2... |
|
| |
|
|
12. f3
|
i see where he is going with this.... |
|
| |
|
|
12... hxg4 13. fxg4
|
ah.... discovered attack on my queen and opening a file kingside..... thing is i haven't castled yet....
I really expected fxe4! here, with the same dicovered attack.... he could have followed that up with Bx4 to prevent me from fully opening the H file |
|
| |
|
|
13... Qg5
|
i had 4 moves to choose from and i've got vague plans of attacking along the h file |
|
| |
|
|
14. Rf3 Bb7 15. Qf1 f6 16. Ba6 Bxa6 17. Qxa6 Na5
|
this move loses a pawn if white plays Qb7, but i couldn't fid a better continuation.... his move had suprised me as it seemed he was planning an attack kingside |
|
| |
|
|
18. Qe2 O-O-O
|
this is probably not a good idea but i know that he can't mate me with just his queen and i'm planning a big attack on kingside .... i figure if his queen is distracted long enough..... |
|
| |
|
|
19. Qa6+ Kb8
|
i was planning Kb8 anyways.... distraction achieved |
|
| |
|
|
20. b4
|
looks like he is going to counterattack on queenside |
|
| |
|
|
20... Nb7
|
Nc6 is answered by b5 so this was my only logical move |
|
