1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bc4 Nc6 4. Ng5 d5
|
kind of variation of the Petrov I rarely encounter
thitho: well, you started, with this rare Ng5 :-) |

5. exd5 Nxd5 6. d3 h6 7. Qf3 hxg5 8. Bxd5 Qf6
|
sounds like equalizing
thitho: I have been thinking a lot about this one and found no other possible move. I thought you wanted this to happen. |

thitho: taking with queen wouldn't have changed for a better: you would have taken back with your own queen... |

10. O-O Qxf3
|
thitho: i saw all the mess you created in my pawns, so i figured I had no choice, because your bishop is up to take g5. |
|

|
11. gxf3
|
both pawn structures seem crushed. |
|
| |
|
|
11... Bd6
|
exposing g5 for the good of the Attack on h2 |
|
| |
|
|
12. Re1
|
good thinking. |
|
| |
|
|
12... f6
|
g5 is not very well defended and the structure is exposed to d4 |
|
| |
|
|
13. d4 Kf7
|
better than any other option with castling |
|
| |
|
|
14. dxe5
|
? |
|
| |
|
|
14... Bxe5 15. Bxg5
|
?! might sound like a good idea, but... |

15... Bxh2+ 16. Kg2
|
(the best: Kf1 was exposed to Bh3+) |
|
| |
|
|
16... Be5
|
threatening a fast approach of the rook... but i guess white had overestimated f4 |

Why not c3 or Nc3??
thitho: indeed, combining the rooks was necessary, but still I think the last moves were almost impossible to avoid, unless giving the quality by Rxe5. |

viewing Bd5 and linking the rooks
thitho: patience was necessary. Rh2 was too early here. |
