My opponent told me after the game that he didn't really feel like playing. I think is shows in this game! |
|
|
1. d4
|
So I start with the usual |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... e5
|
Possibly the weakest move on the board. Black just gives up a pawn for virually nothing, except a few cheap tricks. |

|
| |
|
|

4. Qd5
|
I thought if I play say Bf4 then he has Qb4+ and Qxb2, so I wanted to avoid that. |

5. Qb3
|
I had dreams of getting my Bf1 to c4 to hit f7. |
|
| |
|
|
5... Qc5
|
Hitting my c2, but not really helping his development. |
|
| |
|
|
6. Nc3
|
So I block his attack |
|
| |
|
|
6... c6
|
controlling b5 and d5, but he needs to develop |
|
| |
|
|
7. e4
|
So I carry on with my plan |

So this was his idea |

10. Bxb5
|
This is almost forced, but good! if now cxb5 11. Nxb5 Nxc2+ 12. Kd1 Nxa1 13. Nc7+ Kd8 14. Qe8# so he distracts my queen

10... Nxc2+
|
I take, although Kd1 is also playable, I thought this was clearer. |
