This game features an english attack that I faced as black many times. I have a very poor record against it. In fact I am afraid of it. I lost many games as black.So in this game I decided to adopt it myself. After all I have experience in the opening by LOSING. |

an important precaution move . It got to do with future Nf4 tactics |

13... Rc8 14. Nd5

The threat is 15.Nxe7 and exposing the backward d6 pawn |

14... Bxd5

this frees my light squared bishop and also driving the knight away. the knight does not have good square to go. I feel I am beginning to take slight edge. |

My bishop joins the game with the knight on h5 a target |
|

|
16... Nd7 17. Bg4 Nf4

Here I faced dilemma. If I take the knight then I will drop g5 pawn too.I did not want that |
|

|
18. h4 Rc4
|
This is an error but I dont know what else to suggest if I were black. because I can drive the rook away and I can go on to take the knight and win a pawn |

This loses the game. The computer suggests Nb6 sacrificing the exchange to thwart my attack. |

This speed up Black's demise. 22...Nb8 was much better defense. |

23. Nxe5 dxe5

Here I faced 2 choices. the immediate d6 or delaying d6 in favour of Rxe6. The second option is possible because of my super bishop |
