Here is a game from our team mini where both sides play like idiots for a few moves. It does have a nice little mating attack at the end, however. |
|
|
1. e4 e5 2. d4
|
Interesting choice........White opts to tear open the center with this aggressive move. |
 
|
| |
|
|
2... Nf6
|
?! An interesting move as well for black. Black attempts to trade e pawns. |
|
| |
|
|
3. d5
|
? White neglects his e pawn. 3. dxe was probably better. |
|
| |
|
|
3... d6
|
? Black declines the free pawn, while blocking in his dark squared bishop. Very poor play. |
|
| |
|
|
4. Be2
|
This game has gone off of the deep end. White continues to neglect his e pawn and develops very weakly. |
|
| |
|
|
4... Nxe4
|
! This exclamation is awarded strictly to reward black for curing his cranial-rectal inversion problem. |
|
| |
|
|
5. Bf3
|
? White RE-develops his light squared bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
5... Nf6 6. Bg5
|
White develops, and gains a nice pin. |
|
| |
|
|
6... Bf5 7. Nc3 Be7 8. Nge2 Nbd7 9. O-O O-O
|
Both sides have now developed pieces to logical squares. |
|
| |
|
|
10. Qd2
|
Sort of slow........perhaps Re1 was stronger. |
|
| |
|
|
10... h6
|
Black starts swinging first, and attempts to kick out the pinning bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Bxh6
|
?! Maybe too aggressive here. White sacs a bishop with unclear intentions. |
|
| |
|
|
11... gxh6 12. Qxh6 Nh7
|
It is possible that white did not see this block (if he were seeking a quickly drawn position). |
|
| |
|
|
13. Qd2
|
White retreats to regroup. The quick little attack he executed was summarily dismissed, and he must now come up with something else. |
|
| |
|
|
13... Bg5
|
Black keeps up the pressure on the white queen, forcing her to retreat even further. |
|
| |
|
|
14. Qd1 Nc5
|
Black positions himself for anticipated action on e4. |
|
| |
|
|
15. g4
|
? White detroys his king's protection with this extrememly aggressive move. |
|
| |
|
|
15... Bg6
|
Black easily sidesteps. |
|
| |
|
|
16. b4
|
White is just full of all kinds of aggression. These repeated unsupported advances will be hard to justify should black be able to get in behind them. |
|
| |
|
|
16... Nd7 17. a4
|
And white has made his intentions known. He plans on queenside expansion after the Nc3 is moved. |
