Here is a game where my opponet decided to play original moves, but forgot about the tactic I had against him. I played White in this game. |
|
|
1. e4 e5 2. Nc3
|
This is the Vienna Game, an unusual opening that easily transposes into the Four Knights Game. |

2... Nf6
|
This is the Falkbeer variation. |

|
| |
|
|
3. Nf3 Nc6
|
As I have mentioned, it is very easy to transpose into the Four Knights. |

|
| |
|
|
4. Bc4
|
Worrying about 4...Nxe4? No problem, Black gives me a chance to fend the move off. |

Black should simply Castle right now. |

5... Nh5

? It is horrible to lose material in the development phase of the Four Knights. Black, instead of Castling, gave me a free pawn. |

|

|
|
6. Nxe5
|
Black has options. He can take my Knight and lose more material, or he can defend his Knight. There is perhaps one more option and that will be covered below. |

6... g6
|
That one option is obviously Castling. Despite the fact that it loses more material, it prevents the Kingside disaster that I do in this game. |

7. Bxf7+
|
It all starts with this move, winning yet another free pawn. |

|
| |
|
|
7... Ke7
|
This move isn't bad yet, but I prefer 7...Kf8 with the problematic 8.Bxg6! to deal with. |

8. Bg5+

This isn't very very bad for Black yet, but it is very bad for him. |

8... Kd6
|
THIS is the bad move although no matter what Black does, he loses. 8...Nf6 is met by 9.Qf3. |

I am not missing out on taking the Queen. |

Black has two options. |

10... Ke7
|
10...Kc6 11.Bd5#! That's why Black played this move. |

|
| |
|
|
11. Qf3
|
I cannot save the Bishop unless I retreat it, but in exchange, this move offers 12.g4. |

|
| |
|
|
11... Nxf7
|
What other choice does Black have? |

|
| |
|
|
12. Nd5+
|
12.g4 was better, but this move is still okay. 12.g4 Ng7 13.Nd5+ Kf8 14.Ne5 wins. |

|
| |
|
|
12... Kf8
|
Here, 13.Ne5 is a good idea. |
