an interesting game, in which I tried to trap my opponents queen at the expense of a few pawns. The queen eventually escaped and left me in a poor position. Valuable lesson learnt!! |

White has surprisingly not moved d or e pawn yet. |

intending Kings Indian defence. |

cant think why I played this as it blocks path of Bishop if Kings Indian defence is played. Planning an attack on f3 pawn at this stage was a mistake. |

Played this to find out what the intentions of Ng5 were. |

planning to try to trap Queen by blocking light squared Bishop then playing Ra8. But should have played b6 rather than b5 as will become apparent later. |

b7 still a safe square for white's Queen so a bit more manouvering required. Had I played 11.b6 I could have now played 13.Bc6 to leave Queen in big trouble after 14.Ra8 |

3 pawns down and Queen trap not assured. Looks bad for me. |

this was the right move for white. Queen looks to be ok and 3 pawn advantage now could be match winning. |

Queen escapes and I'm now 4 pawns down. Should be game over. |

Thought I play this as last roll of the dice hoping for big mistake by white. If he takes d6 Bishop with e pawn I win, but if he takes with Queen I loose.
Since I am about to loose anyway decided to take the gamble. In hindsigth I'd have been better battling on and trying to win a few pawns back. |
