This game evolved to an open game where white had a huge lead in development but failed to exploit the advantage. Both white and black missed one winning combination each (I will give you a hint when we get there). Black finally won. |

1. e4
|
My first game against tag1153. Striving to play an open and tactic game.
(The above note is my thinking at the time playing the game. Notes like this is post-game notes) |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... d5
|
Scandinavian defense challenging the center very aggressively . Trade mark move by tag1153. |
|
| |
|
|
2. exd5
|
White grabs the pawn. |
|
| |
|
|
2... Qxd5
|
Black retakes with the Queen. |
|
| |
|
|
3. Nc3
|
White develops with tempo. Black will move to the a-file setting up a future pin on whites King. |
|
| |
|
|
3... Qa5
|
A book move for black. |
|
| |
|
|
4. d4
|
Grabbing the center. Mental note: "Must have plan to defend it later..."
(Which failed... you will see soon.) |
|
| |
|
|
4... c6
|
Creating a retreat option for the Queen expecting white to set up a discovered attack with Bd2... |
|
| |
|
|
5. Bd2
|
And here it comes...
(This is where white leaves book moves and proceeds to loose the d pawn. The book move should have been Nf3) |
|
| |
|
|
5... Qd8
|
Attacking d4. The Queen have moved three times in the opening. White will soon will have three pieces developed compared to blacks zero... |
|
| |
|
|
6. Nf3
|
Three developed pieces. White wants to castle quick and open up the board. |
|
| |
|
|
6... Bg4
|
Developing the Bishop and setting up a pin. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Be2
|
White develops preparing to castle instead of threatening the Bishop with h3. I am calculating to loose the pawn on d4 with BxN BxB QxP. But I see that as a gambit as I will have all my pieces developed compared the blacks single Queen, and I will own the two Bishops in an open game. |
|
| |
|
|
7... Bxf3
|
Black takes the Knight. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Bxf3
|
And white takes the Bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
8... Qxd4
|
And the Queen eats the pawn and black is a pawn up... |
|
| |
|
|
9. Be3
|
Castle or attack? Attack of course! If black accepts trade of queens, white will have a rook on d-file. |
|
| |
|
|
9... Qxd1+
|
Well... There goes the white Queen. |
|
| |
|
|
10. Rxd1
|
And there goes the black Queen. Sanity check. Pluses: White have four pieces developed and owns "the two Bishops" (which is considered worth 0.5 pawns), and owns the d-file. Minuses: White lacks central pawns.
Plan: White will have to attack swiftly if he wants to exploit the lead in development. |
|
| |
|
|
10... e6
|
Opening up for black Bishop and grabbing a piece of the center. |
|
