the following game shows the power of the Queen's pawn game and why defence should not be ignored .... (i played dis game when i was in full form)
1. d4 Nf6
Gary kasprov describes dis as the best defence

 
2. c4 e6
he stops me from taking on the center (a comman move)

 
3. Nc3
i decide to open up my queenside players

 
3... b6
now in my eyes dis is a bad move as it aloows me to open up evrything ....... and i can easily take d center as well

 
4. e4 c5
dere's a hole in his defence and hes not patching it (b7).... i expected Bg7

 
5. d5
I have no intention of giving up the center

 
5... Be7
perparing for a castle........

 
6. Nf3
its time for me to develop my kingside as well now

 
6... O-O 7. Bd3
this has to purposes one to castle and the other to attack the h7 pawn

 
7... Bb7
finally he patches things up there and develops his queenside

 
8. Ng5
more attention is brought to h7 ..... i expected 8.h7 but....

 
8... exd5
he igonres the threat ..... i aint gonna play his game

 
9. e5
e5 is the major move in dis game

 
9... Re8
Re8 an attempt to destroy my consolidated position in d game this leads to exf6 bxf6 ...... bxg5 and it also opens movement space for his king to avoid a quick mate

 
10. O-O
O-O may hinder my attack caz now it is risky to bring my kingside pawns on attack.... but

 
10... dxc4 11. exf6
2 pawns for a knight is not preferable until d end game black is in trouble

 
11... Bxf6 12. Bxh7+
kf8 is the only option otherwise it results to a fork

 
12... Kf8
i am not sure how to continue my attack should move h4 or f4 ..... f4 will block out my bishop and h4 is not d ideal move for a castled king shld i just withdraw my bidhop becaz i fear g6 to block it completly

 
13. f4
now that i think of it h4 wud have been the better move

 
13... d5
He ignores the threat again d5! at dis point of time how long does he think his king will survive in dis battered state d5 might win him half d board but please that is useless when u have a check mate approaching
