This was a game of mine in another site. |
|
|
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6
|
Introducing the Philidor defense. More developing is 2...Nf6 (petrov defense) or 2...Nc6 (leads to the Ruy Lopez, Italian game , Scotch game...) |

|
| |
|
|
3. d4
|
White's most logical move. |

|
| |
|
|
3... exd4
|
This is black best move and it avoids complication. Also good is 3...Nf6. |

|
| |
|
|
4. Nxd4
|
4.Qxd4 is also playable. |

4... Nf6 5. Nc3 c6 6. Bd3 h6
|
Better is 6...Be7 to allow castling. |

|
| |
|
|
7. O-O Be7 8. Kh1
|
Intending to advance kingside pawns. |

|
| |
|
|
8... O-O 9. f4 Qc7 10. Nf3
|
10.Nf3? Losing a tempo by moving the same piece twice while there is still another pieces not developed yet. |

|
| |
|
|
10... Bg4 11. Qe1 Nbd7
|
Black continues developing his pieces and now his rooks are connected. |

12. Qg3 Bxf3 13. Rxf3 Rfe8 14. Qh3 Bf8 15. Rg3
|
Now white threatens 16.Qxh6! |

|
| |
|
|
15... Kh8
|
The best. if 15...Kh7?? 16.e5+! wins a piece. |

|
| |
|
|
16. Bd2
|
May be better was 16.Be3 preventing black's next move. But i saw white's 19th move, so i played this. |

|
| |
|
|
16... Qb6
|
I think better was 16...Nc5! |

17. Na4 Qd4 18. Nc3 Nc5
|
Does this win white's e4 pawn? Actually this move removes the defender from the knight on f6 as will be seen. |

|
| |
|
|
19. Nb5
|
19.Nb5!! if 19...cxb5?? 20.Bc3!! Qa4 21.Bxf6! {now the other knight doesn't protect it} gxf6? (black should play 21...Kh7 although he will lose after 22.Qg4 g6 32.f5 Rxe4 24.fxg6+ Kg8 25.gxf7_ Kxf7 26.Qg6+ Ke6 27.b3 Qa6 28.Bxe4) 22.Qg4! mates next. |

19... Qxb2
|
Much better was 19...Nxd3! 20.cxd3 (not 20.Nxd4? Nf2+! 21.Kg1 Nxh3+ 22.Rxh3 Rxe4 when black is a pawn up) Qb6! to prevent 21.Nc7 forking the two rooks. |

|
| |
|
|
20. Bc3 Nxd3
|
forced. |

|
| |
|
|
21. cxd3
|
again if 20. Bxb2?? Nf2+! |

|
| |
|
|
21... Qxb5 22. Bxf6
|
! |

|
| |
|
|
22... Kh7
|
Again forced. if 22...gxf6?? 23.Qg4! and black has to sacrifice his queen by Qg5 to avoid mate. |

|
| |
|
|
23. f5
|
23.f5!! this move allows 24.Qg4. If instead 23.Qg4 Re6 24.Bxg7?? Rg6 wins. |
