Lightly annotated, mainly because of some tactic shots. |

A normal and quiet approach to the London by black. |

Better was NxNc6, then this N will press on the c6 pawn, with the Q. Nothing that black can't parry, but still forcing. |

I hope in the other N to create pressure on e5... if it can get there! |

No queenside castling this time. |

The Q's exchange is not good or bad. But I am not taking any advantage of it. |

13... c4
|
This closes the center for black, and this is handable... |

Now black only has a sac to penetrate my queenside. I have to solve the lsb's developement, though. |

Wonderful. My lsb for his. |

With some manouver, I can force the Blsb back, opening the king's position. |

Launching the pawn's storm. Without the Qs and the queenside closed, it looks as a good attacking prospect. |

The more black pushes his pawns, quicker will be my attack. |

I had to "demonstrate" my attack is sound, even by opening my K or sac some pawns. |

Bxg5 only invites f4. |

f4 would have been the right, I think. This is necessary but too slow. Moreover, I didn't see the threat: my N is trapped! |

I have to play with piece less. So let's take all I can from it. |

I don't care about retaking the pawn. I have to press his K. |

! Very nice. If Rh8, he can move the N and exchange them, and I'll be busted. |

Bxe5+ would have only helped him to unravel his pieces. |

My attack is now stalled! |

Well, go on attacking! Nothing more left but a slow death. |
