1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Bf4 Nc6 Knight moves to c3 or f3 on the third move are more useful and flexible for white - sometimes the bishop is better at g5. Black's third move blocks his c pawn when defending a Queen's Gambit, limiting his chances to attack the center. 4.e3 Nf6 5.Nf3 Bb4+ 6.Nc3 Ne4 7.Qc2 Nxc3 8.bxc3 Bd6 9.Bxd6 Qxd6 10.c5 Gains space but relieves pressure on the d5 pawn. 10...Qe7 11.Bd3 Bd7 Black could play 11...e5, attacking the center and threatening a pawn fork. His bishop might find a better post than d7. 12.0-0 0-0-0 |

| Unsafe castling. Better was ...e5, as noted last move. White's tenth move c5 makes this black counter strong. 13.Rab1 White immediately takes open file to attack opponents king. 13...b6 14.Ba6+ Kb8 15.a4 Bc8 16.Bb5 Qd7? Wrong way to guard piece. Na5 would form blockade. 17.Ne5 White pounces on use of pin to win a piece. 17...Qe8 18.Nxc6+ Ka8 19.Nxd8 White wins even more material. 19...Qxd8 20.a5 White opens up files around the black king. 20...a6 21.Bc6+ Bb7 22.Bxb7+ Kxb7 23.cxb6 cxb6 24.Rxb6+ Kc7 25.Rfb1 Kd7 26.Rb7+ Kd6 27.R1b6+ Qxb6 28.Rxb6+ Ke7 29.Rxa6 Rb8 30.Rb6 Ra8 31.a6 Kd7 32.Qa4+ Ke7 33.Qc6 Rf8 34.a7 Kf6 35.a8Q Rxa8 36.Qxa8 Kg6 37.c4 dxc4 38.f4 c3 39.Qa4 h5 40.Qc2+ f5 41.d5 h4 42.d6 Kh5 43.Qe2+ Kh6 44.d7 g5 45.d8Q g4 46.Qxh4+ Kg7 47.Rb7+ Kg6 48.Qg5# |
