1. Nf3
|
My regular opening, the Reti. |
 
|
| |
|
|
1... Nc6
|
Developing his queens-knight. Other good moves were 1. ... d5; 1. ... Nf6 or 1. ... c5 (leading into a Sicilian). |
|
| |
|
|
2. d4
|
Making a c1-h6-diagonal for my black bishop.. |
|
| |
|
|
2... d5
|
Making place to deposit his bishop on g4 ? |
|
| |
|
|
3. Nc3 Nf6
|
This is somewhat a "closed fourknights-game" ? (while using the d-pawns, instead of the e-pawns ?) |
|
| |
|
|
4. Bf4
|
Normal developing.. |
|
| |
|
|
4... h6
|
I think this is a lost move for black; since I could've played directly 4. Bg5. |
|
| |
|
|
5. h3
|
Preventing black to play 5. ... Bg4. Also a lost move; since white could undo this threat by playing 5. e3; while opening a line for his king's bishop, in meanwhile.. |

5... e6 6. e3 Bb4
|
Pinning my knight in front of my king.. A good following move could be 7. ... Ne4. |
|
| |
|
|
7. Qd2
|
7. Bd3 or 7. Bb5 was better, in my opinion.. If 7. ... Bxc3 8. bxc3; that would give me a nice open b-line for my rook, while having a strong pawn-center.. Yes, but also an isolated a-pawn; wich isn't that good.. Hard choice ! |
|
| |
|
|
7... Ne4
|
As expected.. |
|
| |
|
|
8. Qd3 O-O 9. Ne5
|
Giving some pressure in the center.. Note black's knight on e4; excellent position ! |
|
| |
|
|
9... Nxe5 10. Bxe5 c5
|
Black has the initiative now.. If 11. dxc5 Nxc5 --> My queen needs to move.. If white plays something else, then probably 11. ... c4 will come, and so the retreat of my queen.. |
|

|
11. dxc5 Nxc5 12. Qd4
|
A nice place for white's Queen !! She's hunting after that uncovered black bishop ! |

Not really a move to worry about.. 13. Qxb4 fxe5 14. Qxc5 and black is down a piece.. |

13. Qxb4 b6
|
This gives white the chance to withdraw his bishop on e5. Black is quite inactive at the moment.. Still 3 pieces that hasn't moved.. Ok, white also has 3 pieces that hasn't moved yet, but the white bishop guards the f1-a6-diagonal; where it can be usefull to reduce black knight's movement.. |

|
Moving to a solid place in the center.. 15. ... e5 would lead to 16. Qxd5 , with queen-exchanging |
|
| |
|
|
15... Bb7 16. Be2
|
Preparing castling on kingside.. |
|
| |
|
|
16... Qe7 17. O-O Rad8
|
I don't really understand this move.. In my opinion, the control over the open c-line is more important.. |
