A blunder in the opening by black leads to a very sharp tactic game. Enjoy. |

? An old system, never seen in serious chess, probably played by mistake! |

Black assumes the game (I tried to offer draw, but it was too late). |

3. Nf3 h5

? ...but interesting. In fact, I decided I could just ignore it. I want a pawn in h3, so no problem with that pawn. |

? I understad, black wants to contest the center, but he is neglecting developement. I overlooked that he is opening the way for his Q to b6, TOO... |

5. Nc3 Qb6
|
Uh-oh, I'm in trouble! Incredibe! This will be fun. The only reasonable answer is to block with my Q one of my B's path. Too bad! |
|

6. Qd2
|
I sensed I better kept an eye on the d column, well aware of the black's attacking potential. |
|

|
6... Na6
|
? ... unfortunately, this move is not a good way to attack, since it essentially loses a piece. The Q and B battery is uncovered after Na4, and NxB will have neutralized black's power. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Na4
|
...but now, black has only one move to save the B, that IS en prise. After the Q retreats, BxNa6 will leave black with Bxf2+, KxB, bxBa6, with few compensation. Black had to play Qb4, in order to threat the WN and the Q's exchange at the same time, guaranteeing to maintain the balance. |

7... Bb4
|
? but this move plainly loses a piece... or not? The whole situation is thematic, and good for beginners to get used to. |
|

|
8. c3
|
Now both pieces, Q and B, are threatened at the same time. It seems not to be any escape for black. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Qa5
|
... but in fact there is one, and very good, indeed. This way, the BQ escapes and threats the Na4 in return. The balance will be mantained. |
|
| |
|
|
9. cxb4
|
...but again, the situation is not so simple. This is a kind of dangerous move (if not a blunder). White (I) should have taken the chance to develop with tempo with BxNa6. This just to make possible o-o, the beginning of the freedom. Now, the N will become a killer monster! Can you see? |
|
| |
|
|
9... Nxb4
|
Threatening Nc2+! AND my Na4. Time to behave "cool blood fashion". |

This simple move counters all of black's threats. Now, a3 will solve all my problems... but the funny thing about this game is that after a black's horrible opening, I am the one struggling for coming out of problems! There is a theory chapter somewhere I didn't read! :-) |

Too time to go all this more deeply. But here, Bd2 allowed BxB+, KxB, exf6, followed by Ne5+. So black thought it was a good idea to avoid all this with... |

13... Ke7

Black loses here both the N and the Q. You'll see! |
