|
She gains space in the centre. |
 
|
| |
|
|
11... Nde7
|
So I return to e7 |
|
| |
|
|
12. Nc3
|
A normal developing move. |
|
| |
|
|
12... Bg7
|
And the same from me. |
|
| |
|
|
13. Be3
|
Bishop comes out with a plan. |
|
| |
|
|
13... O-O
|
I finally castle. |
|
| |
|
|
14. Nb3
|
She is trying to make something of my slightly weak dark squares in the queen-side. |
|
| |
|
|
14... Nf5
|
Hitting the bishop. |
|
| |
|
|
15. Bc5
|
Counter-attacking my rook. I break from Lehner, Oliver (2420) vs. Teske, Henrik (2475) where Bxc3 was played. I thought it seemed a bad idea to give up the wonderful bishop on g7. |

15... Re8
|
The only square for it. |
|
| |
|
|
16. Qc2
|
Preparing to develop her Ra1. |
|
| |
|
|
16... b6
|
Attacking the Bc5, and trying to cover up some of those horrible dark-squared holes on the queen side. |
|
| |
|
|
17. Rad1
|
Played after a long think. Of course she saw the attack on her bishop, but she worngly thought that she had enough compensation. |
|
| |
|
|
17... bxc5
|
So I just take. |
|
| |
|
|
18. Nxc5
|
She takes back, threatening my bishop on d7. I could just protect with Ra2 and white has very little in return for being a piece down, but I saw something even better. |

This move just blocks any threats on the d file. |
|
| |
|
|
19. Qe4
|
This doesn't achieve much as Nd4 is twice protected. |
|
| |
|
|
19... e5
|
4 times protected now! |
|
| |
|
|
20. Nd5
|
But she takes advantage of a slight weakness on d5. |
|
| |
|
|
20... Bf5
|
Her queen is attacked and very short of squares. e3 seems to be the only safe square, and then I win the exchange with Nc7. She avoids this, but only by losing a whole knight for nothing! |
