2012 March Octet Queen's Pawn Opening
1. d4 e6 2. c4 Bf8b4 3. Bc1d2 c5
the response I selected to queens pawn is more involved
4. Bd2xb4 cxb4
douibled pawn not fatal problem
5. e3 Ng8f6 6. Bf1d3 d5
contesting control of center squares
7. Ng1f3 Qd8c7 8. Nb1d2
reenforce c4 and connects knights is powerful position
8... Nb8d7 9. Ra1c1
preparing to attack queen if white next moves P x P
9... Qc7a5
hate this position for queen and should have retreated to d8
10. Qd1b3 O-O 11. O-O a6 12. cxd5 exd5 13. Nf3e5 g6 14. Nd2f3 Nd7b6 15. a3 Qa5a4 16. Qb3xb4 Qa4xb4
white gained pawn but solved queen issue
17. axb4 Nb6d7 18. Ne5xd7 Bc8xd7 19. Nf3e5 Bd7b5 20. Bd3xb5 axb5
back to doubled pawns again!
21. Rc1c5 Rf8d8
this move was not necessary to save this pawn
22. Rc5xb5 Ra8a7 23. Rf1c1 Nf6d7 24. Rb5xd5 b6 25. Ne5c6
knight forks destroys black
25... Rd8a8 26. Nc6xa7 Ra8xa7
down 3 pawns and advantage with 2 rooks for white difficult hurdle to overcome
27. f4 f5 28. Rd5d6 Kg8f7 29. Rd6c6 Ra7a4 30. Rc6c7 Kf7e7 31. Rc7b7 Ke7d6 32. b5 Ra4b4 33. Rc1c6
this Chinese puzzle does not make all the pieces of black fit
33... Kd6e7 34. Rc6c7 Rb4xb5 35. Rc7xd7 Ke7e6 36. Rd7xh7 Rb5xb2 37. Rh7h6 Rb2b1 38. Kg1f2 Rb1b2 39. Kf2f3
position is long lost but made a few token check moves
39... Ke6f6 40. h4 Rb2b1 41. h5 Rb1f1 42. Kf3e2 Rf1h1 43. Rh6xg6
counter for queen's pawn still merits play, but my mis handling needs further analysis.
