Incredibly, Bruening won the game without moving a single piece! |
|
|
1. d4
|
The amateur opens with the QP, hoping to prolong his resistance by playing a positional, slow game. |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... d5
|
Bruening counters in Classical style. |
|
| |
|
|
2. c4
|
The standard reply. |
|
| |
|
|
2... e6
|
Bruening plays an Orthodox defense in response. |
|
| |
|
|
3. Bf4
|
The amateur forgets the rule: Knights before Bishops. 3 N-QB3 is the move he should make. |
|
| |
|
|
3... c5
|
Bruening takes advantage of this with an immediate challenge to the center. |
|
| |
|
|
4. Nc3
|
One move too late. Now Bruening can do... |
|
| |
|
|
4... cxd4
|
...this in response. |
|
| |
|
|
5. Bxb8
|
The best move was to retreat the QN. |
|
| |
|
|
5... dxc3
|
Now Bruening's advanced Pawn becomes threatening. |
|
| |
|
|
6. Be5
|
6 R-N1 or 6 PxP would drag out the game a bit. |
|
| |
|
|
6... cxb2
|
Threatens PxR (Q) and B-N5 ch winning the White Q. White cannot defend both threats, so he resigns at once. |
