1. e4
my first annoted game. this game will remind you that you have to keep focus on every move. sometimes the 3 days per move can put you off guard, turning nice game into a terrible one. and visa versa. but, even when you seems lost, FOCUS. there's a chance that your opponents don't.

 
1... c6
just a normal oppening move (i don't know much about the name of oppenings yet.

 
2. c4
i like to move this pawn, as it keeps it active, attacking the middle, instead of being blocked by Kc3. but now, having e4 and c4 at the same time on an oppening, is not a very good move. the d2 pawn is now obsolete with 3. ..e5

 
2... a6
i'm not sure what this is for

 
3. Nc3
starting developing pieces - knights first

 
3... e6 4. Nf3
same here.

 
4... d5
trying to attach pawn structure.

 
5. d4
pawns are guarded by pieces. dxc4 helps development, so continue to give way for c bishop

 
5... Bb4
pinned. but, even if 6.. Bxc3 , having 7.bxc3 is not a very bad thing. it's just reinforcing more pawn to the center.

 
6. a3
forcing to take knight, so that b pawn can help guard d pawn

 
6... Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 dxe4
i missed this one, but defence is still strong, and no attack yet from the opponents pieces.

 
8. Ng5
attacking e4.

 
8... Nf6 9. f3
getting rid of the e pawn. if taken, queen develops, if e3, bishops develops. if not, fxe4

 
9... exf3 10. Qxf3 Nbd7 11. Bd3
developing bishops and getting ready to 0-0

 
11... Qe7
still no threats from black.

 
12. O-O
0-0 and attacking f line.

 
12... h6 13. Ne4 Nxe4
obvious trade off. getting rid of an attacker. but oppening up opportunities for white to attack, as the bishops are now on their position to attack king side.

 
14. Bxe4 Nf6
replacing defender.

 
15. Bc2
bishops is ready to snipe

 
15... e5
destrying pawn structure, or attacking queen by e4.
