1. e4

This was an online fast game I played a couple days ago. I have the Black pieces |

1... Nf6
|
I don't like playing sicilian in short games because I tend to think a lot. Short timed games probably aren't good for my chess.
Alekhine defense entices White's pawns to move forward so they will become attackable. |
|
| |
|
|
2. Nc3
|
White decides not to overextend his position more and develop a piece instead |
|
| |
|
|
2... d5
|
I can open up the centre for easy equality.
Could someone give their opinion on if they think this position is equal? Now looking I think maybe I was slightly better, but surely this is still book. |

If 3.e5, then 3...Nfd7 is fine for me because 4.d4 c5! turns into a French-type position but where I haven't played the blocking e6 move. If 5.dxc5 then I can go into French with 5...e6 since I will win back a pawn and exchanging a central pawn for flank one usually isn't good. |

3... Nxd5

Baker likes to play Bg4 here but I don't study his crazy gambit openings |
|

A passive move by White. Taking the knight was probably his best option. Or Ne4 is interesting |
|
| |
|
|
4... Nc6
|
Since White blocked his diagonal, I need not fear Bb5, and also if Nxd5 Qxd5 Nc3 Qe5 and I shouldn't have any problems with development I can fianchetto KB |

This move weakens the light squares, and the previous knight move also weakened the light squares...........so............. |
|
| |
|
|
5... Bg4
|
I annoyingly place my bishop here threatening to ruin White's kingside castling chances and pinning the knight |
|
| |

6. Bg2
|
Best move |
|

|
6... Nd4
|
This was my tricky move. All my tactics are revolved around the weak light squares. Both my knights are invinsible. I also have a direct threat of Nxc3 dxc3 Bxe2. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Bxd5
|
White takes my invinsible knight, which is a mistake, as his light squares are incredibly weak. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Qxd5
|
I love taking advantage of weak squares. Nxd5 results in Nf3 Kf1 Bh3#
Always consider which squares you are weakening when you make pawn moves. White has advanced the g and e-pawns, making f3 especially weak. |

I was hoping White would fall for my mating trick, but I knew I still had an advantage due to my incredible grip on the light squares..... maybe even a a forced mate. White's only ways to get out of mate were d3 or f3, but I still win material. |

The only check to keep the initiative |

If Kg2 then Nh4 Kg1 Qg2#. |
|

|
|
9... Ng5+

White realizes castling into his weak squares was a terrible idea. White may have thought he was safe since any check would leave my queen hanging, but he doesn't have time to take my queen because I have Bf3 Kg1 Nh3# exploiting the weaknesses on h3, g2, and f3. |
|
| |
|
|
10. f3
|
If Kg1 then Nh3#, so White tries to hang on as long as possible, but it's clear I have won. |
|
| |
|
|
10... Bxf3+
|
Now White is mated because Kg1 Nh3#, and White's continuation also got him mated |
