1... d5 2. c4 e6
|
so you decline the gambit? |
|
| |
|
|
3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5
|
pinning the knight. |
|
| |
|
|
4... Nbd7
|
and as you don't remove the pin ... |
|
| |
|
|
5. cxd5
|
I'll simply take the pawn. and become a pawn up early in the game. Thanks |

5... h6 6. Bh4 Bb4
|
and as I cannot recapture on d5 if you now take with pawn .... |
|
| |
|
|
7. dxe6
|
I'll swap that off first. |
|
| |
|
|
7... fxe6 8. Qd3 Bxc3+ 9. bxc3 O-O 10. e3 Qe8 11. Be2 b6 12. Bf3 Rb8 13. Ne2 Bb7 14. Bxb7 Rxb7 15. Nf4 g5
|
At this point I'd made a serious mistake and was shocked to see the pawn come forward.... |
|
| |
|
|
16. Nxe6
|
... but I managed to recover |
|
| |
|
|
16... Qxe6 17. Qg6+ Kh8 18. Qxh6+
|
... cleaning up three pawns for my knight - not my intention but forced by your pawn advance to g5. |
|
| |
|
|
18... Kg8 19. Qg6+ Kh8 20. Qh6+ Kg8 21. Qg6+
|
just to let you know I could force a draw if I wanted :-) |
|
| |
|
|
21... Kh8 22. Bxg5
|
before cleaing up final pawn |
|
| |
|
|
22... Qf7
|
now here, you thought I could take my win quickly - I'd like to know If you saw good things for me here as I just couldn't see a quick kill myself. and decided to... |
|
| |
|
|
23. Bxf6+
|
clean up a few pieces. |
|
| |
|
|
23... Nxf6 24. Qxf7 Rxf7 25. O-O
|
... and hope to press home the pawn advantage thinking four pawns for the knight would see me through .. especially as the kings side is wide open. |
|
| |
|
|
25... Nd5 26. c4 Nc3 27. a4 Ne4 28. Ra2 Rb8 29. f3 Rbf8 30. Rc1 Ng5 31. h4 Nxf3+
|
And then I wasn't expecting this sacrifice but it was inspired... not only does it take care of all my pawns on f-g-h but we see later it equalises on a4
nice move!! |
|
| |
|
|
32. gxf3 Rf7xf3
|
ok 3 pawns for knight h4 is indefensible. |
|
| |
|
|
33. Re1 Rg8+ 34. Rg2 Rh3 35. Rxg8+ Kxg8
|
still thought I could do it! with the passed pawn on the e file... |
|
| |
|
|
36. Kf2
|
and wanted my king behind the three pawns for the push forward |
|
| |
|
|
36... Rxh4 37. Ke2
|
f3 may have been better but I still would have had no answer to ... |
