1. d4
Game against lanlee i felt was rather interesting and an exciting game for me. I was quite down throughout most part of this game because of how well he was playing in our other game, but was able to overcome this. He kicked off with d4

 
1... d5
d5

 
2. c4
c4,pawn sacrifice for classic pawn centre, a novel beginning in many a players game

4... Nb6
knight back to b6

 
5. Qf3
queen out early, lots of players avoid this. maybe this will become a weakness

5... e6
e6, for castling it also protects d5 in variations an annoying spacial cramp for black

 
6. Be3
be3, eyeing down b6 maybe to wreck my pawns

6... Bb4+
bb4 check, the king is fairly exposed, the purpose of this move is time rather than anything else

 
7. Bd2
bd2, a trade off perhaps. what did white leave behind?

 
7... Qxd4
queen takes d4!

8. Bxb4
bxb4

 
8... Qxb4+
queen takes..check

 
9. Nc3
nc3,this allows the piece to be pinned. but still allows castling

 
9... Qxb2
queen takes b2.

 
10. Rb1
rook b1

 
10... Qa3
queen a3, my queen can run out of space very quickly, a retreat first to a3 to allow more options
