13. Nxe5
|
so I trade bishop for knight |
 
|
| |
|
|
13... Bxe5
|
oh, there's my bishop! |
|
| |
|
|
14. dxe5
|
got it! |
|
| |
|
|
14... Qxd1
|
I guess he doesn't like queens |
|
| |
|
|
15. Rfxd1
|
I'll trade them if forced |
|
| |
|
|
15... Bg4
|
putting pressure on a pawn? |
|
| |
|
|
16. f3
|
I run the "girly-man" off |
|
| |
|
|
16... Bh5 17. Rd7
|
I've always heard that a rook on the 7th rank is cause for great distress, so I go there |
|
| |
|
|
17... b5
|
one pawn escapes... |
|
| |
|
|
18. Rxe7
|
one does not |
|
| |
|
|
18... Rfd8
|
oops! pawn snatching cost me the open file (should have doubled the rooks first) |
|
| |
|
|
19. e3
|
I'm hoping to undouble my e-file pawns by trading pawns |
|
| |
|
|
19... Rd3
|
he thwarts my plans |
|
| |
|
|
20. a4
|
I try to eliminate the pawn imbalance on the Queen-side |
|
| |
|
|
20... Rxe3
|
he takes a duck |
|
| |
|
|
21. g4
|
a diversion |
|
| |
|
|
21... Bg6 22. axb5
|
we trade pawns |
|
| |
|
|
22... cxb5 23. Raxa7
|
and now I double rooks on the 7th rank |
|
| |
|
|
23... Rxa7
|
well, ok, it was temporary |
|
| |
|
|
24. Rxa7
|
I'm feeling good about my position |
|
