Annotated chess game

This retreat calls for some explanation, I feel. Something had to be done about the attacked Bishop, of course. this offers an exchange, for which Black gets a margin lead in development, White gets (keeps) the Bishop pair. Instead, I might have preferred 3...Bc4, though after 4.b4 Bd4 5.Rb1 c6 6.e3 ... it's not clear Black would have gained anything thereby.

In fact, it seems that the resulting position after archduke's line is very interesting. From 6. e3, the only logical line I can see is cxNd5, 7. exBd4, with a rare position with only 5 joined pawn are outside the base row. Black may come out with a pawn more, by, say, dxc4, 7. Bxc4, exd4. fen='rnbqk1nr/pp1p1ppp/8/8/1PBp4/8/P2P1PPP/1RBQK1NR w Kkq -' White of course has the edge, with a lot of possible attack lines like, for example, 8. Qh5 (it attacks f7, as many others, but also prevents d5, and threatens the deadly Qe5+ - if black interposes the Qe7, white will play Be6!, and after black takes the B, Qxg7 will get black's rook...). Black can try Qe7+, hoping into the Q's exchange and releasing the tension - defending f7 or course - but white just plays 9. Ne2. After Nf6, black seem to hold, since white has to retire the Queen and black will castle. White has to be aware of a possible d3 by black, so 10. Qc5 (threatening Bc1 and preventing inmeditate castling) looks interesting. fen='rnb1k2r/pp1pqppp/5n2/2Q5/1PBp4/8/P2PNPPP/1RB1K2R b Kkq -' Nc6 is not playable, since black's N will be forced to go in few moves, and d4 will fall. Black better exchange Q with QxQc4, 11. bxQc4. It can follow: Ne4, 12. Ba3, Nc6, 13. f3 (not 13. d3, Nc3), Ng5, with the idea of Ne6, not 12... Na5, 13. Bd3! fen='r1b1k2r/pp1p1ppp/2n5/2P5/2Bpn3/B4P2/P2PN1PP/1R2K2R b Kkq -' A game in which only very accurate preparation can allow black to survive white's attack. He can try to do it without losing the extra (whoug doubled and isolated) pawn, or choose the right moment to give it back (sac it on d6 can be a way to divert white's lsb at some point). But anyway: a position in which I doubt any black player would like to be in!

I like the Black side of this form of the English: very aggressive. Lots of potential for K-side attack.

if 3.... Bc5 the answer will be 4.b5 which bad for black

Yes, but you have lost your good bishop. Perhaps 3...Bc5 was better. see the comment provided by archduke_piccolo on move 3.

better for white keep developing his pieces by 11.b3 then 12.Bb2 or 12 Ba3 depend on black responses

Black can already be looking to attack on the K-side.

Both players have played quietely. Black could have tried Be6, looking for d5 - Bf7 - f6. Also, Nc6, d5, Nb5, planning to Nd3, BxN, exB, with potential opening of the e and f column...

may be try 13....ef3 to make outpost for Knight at e4

I think Black is correct to let it slide. The f4 point can be levered open by ...g5 with suitable preparation.

Black needs the sequence Nb4 - Nd3, even at the cost of a pawn, in order to be free to attack white's kinside effectively with Bh5. Not sure about white's compensation in the center, even if Nd4 is posible and advisable for black, blocking Wdsb.

After this, possibly 14...Nd8 was preferable, keeping open the options of ...c6 (or c5), or manoeuvring the knight via f7 to h6 or h8 and then g6.

Black had to be well aware about what to do in case of this from some moves ago... the three possible answers (the other being Nd8 and Nb4) imply a completely different strategy by black. Nd8 supports a future g5 break, after Nf7. Na7 supports a possible f6 or b5, and Nb4 plans to sac the e4 pawn for an outpost on e4 and a uncontested lsb on h4. I'm not sure I would have dared for Nb4, but the queenside attack just seems to me that helps white to get more activity to his pieces after the d and c pawns are removed.

I'm sorry, but this just seems to me it can't be a valid reason to spend a move at this point... having gone for Na7, you kind of "need" to stick to your plan and decide among c6 or b5. The text move could have been ok if preventing c5 due to Nxd5, but that's not the case, so it seems just... useless.

as rule in chess must develop pieces and control the center before wing attack

Ambitious! The centre is more or less locked, so the wing attack is justifiable on that ground, I think. But White's Q-side has barely begun its deployment. Has White really enough attacking resources available? Seems pretty doubtful.

The point is black missed the race to be the first to attack the kingside!

This almost shuts down the K-side altogether. White has one last remaining lever, the h-pawn. Even then, so localised will the attack have become, Black can shut it down the moment it becomes menacing. What of the Q-side? There the situation is still fluid...

White's king is very safe here. There is no way to attack it.

You can now see the convenience to sac a pawn in order to get rid of at least the white's lsb... Imagine to remove the e4 pawn and the Na7 from black's game, and Be7 from white: suddenly, e3 becomes very weak... after Bh5. Just being general, not a precise line.

19...Rfd8 does nothing except move a kingside defender. 19...c5 opens the game to provide counterplay and controls the weak dark squares.

This is a consecuence of black's apparent lack of a plan other than to wait white's attack. This can only be successfully played by geniuses!...

Suddenly the situation has become very dangerous for Black. There is no good way of neutralizing the dark long diagonal. One feels now that ...c5 had to be tried at some earlier point, with some chance of shutting down the central dark squares at least.

You can sense that all this Bishops's moves have been kind of losing time, don't you?

may be here 24.Rf2 then 25.Rh2is necessary to keep the pressure on king size

@pumpkinduke: I think that is coming...

24...Qf7 doesn't do much. 24...c5 was better. Active counterplay is usually better than passive defense, especially when it is hard to defend weak squares near the king.

Do not retake the pawn happens to be the best choice black could do. If Qxg7, though, white can't take inmediate advantage of the open diagonal. Still, after Qd1...

25.Na4 is make the knight far away from battle

25.Na4 looks irrelevant...
