1. Nf3
|
I've been trying this opening recently, and it can have interesting results. |

1... d5
|
The most common response |
|
| |
|
|
2. Ne5
|
This is an interesting variation, from the games database. |
|
| |
|
|
2... e6 3. e3 Bd6
|
I have tried the bold Nxf7, but it hasn't really worked for me. |
|
| |
|
|
4. Nd3 c5 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. b3 Nf6 7. Qe2
|
It's all starting to look a little cramped, which I don't really like, but if I can boost, my e pawn things should open up. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Bd7 8. Bb2
|
If there's an exchange on e4, I want my bishop on the long diagonal. |
|
| |
|
|
8... O-O 9. e4 d4
|
wasn't expecting that, but it's OK... |
|
| |
|
|
10. Nb5
|
Was expecting his bishop to retreat to e7 then I could boost my e pawn again... |
|
| |
|
|
10... Bc7
|
...but he's seen that, but now he's left his pawn unprotected. |
|
| |
|
|
11. Nxc5 Nb4
|
Obviously after the fork, but his other pawn is now vulnerable, and it stops the fork. |
|
| |
|
|
12. Nxd4 Bc6 13. e5 Nfd5
|
Now I have a plan, if I take e6 with one knight, then the other, I can fork Rook and Queen. |
|
| |
|
|
14. a3
|
But I have to get that knight out of the way first. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Nf4 15. Qg4
|
Furthering the pressure on e6 |
|
| |
|
|
15... Nbd5
|
Need to move his other knight now. |
|
| |
|
|
16. g3 Ng6 17. f4
|
I'm ready to attack now, but he does have a way out, by Qd2, then if I took the rook, he gets my queen. |
|
| |
|
|
17... Nge7
|
This move makes everything much easier for me! |
|
| |
|
|
18. Ndxe6 fxe6 19. Nxe6 Qd7
|
He's seen the fork, and the way out, but missed the greater threat. |
