1. e4
|
The title of the game "Who needs a queen" . I was not sure who was going to lose a queen but I would soon find out.
White opened with Kings pawn to e4. |

1... f5
|
I decided to play using the Dutch defence. I was intending to move my g knight out to f6. |

White moved his queen down to check my king at h5. |

I stopped the check by moving my g pawn to block the queen and protect my f pawn. |

I took the queen with my g pawn. Now I found out who was going to lose their queen. However this has given me doubled pawns on my h file which obviously means I cannot safely cast on the king side. I don't think I would have chosen to take the queen in this position but if I get a chance to take a queen then I would mostly likely do so. |

Now white takes the pawn I was offering at the start which provides a place for my knight to reside and stops the pawns advance. |

White develops his knight to f3 and prepares to castle. |

|

|
5... d6
|
I move my pawn to d6 and this allows my LB to be pointed at white's pawn on f5 and stops f3 knight from moving onto e5. |

White castles. White looks likely to move his rook onto the e file which only has my undeveloped e7 pawn and the king still on his spot. |

6... c5
|
I continue to add to my pawn chain with the move c5. I wonder if e5 would have been a better move as it would stop white from using the e6 square to place his pieces and limit my scope for attack. |

White develops his b knight to c3. White's bishop is looking happy with itself as it is currently at d3 and has access to 2 diagonals to a6 and h7. |

For some reason I now decide to capture the pawn at f5 and in consequence lose my LB to white. |

White captures my LB. Actually this may be fair in the circumstances since white gave me his queen its only fair I give him something back. But there is nothing for the LB to attack so this may be returning to its previous good position but I suppose its here so it might as well stay and cause me difficulties in moving my pieces out. |

I move my rook out to the half open g file as my doubled pawns are both protected by the knight at f6. |

White moves his d pawn to d3 to allow his DB access to the diagonal to h6. |

|

|
|
9... Nc6
|
I develop my b knight to c6 trying to get my pieces out on the queen side so I can long castle. |

Now that pesky LB moves to the spot which I in future will try to fill with my own pieces before my opponent gets in them. He is now pointed at my rook on g8. |

|
| |
|
|
10... Rg7
|
So I bring my rook out to g7 as there is nothing for me to attack at present and white has some squares on the g file protected. |

White pushes the h pawn out to h3. This stops my f knight from landing on g4 plus the e6 bishop is also protecting this square. |
