  • 1. e4 e5 2. Ng1f3 Nb8c6 3. Bf1b5
    ?! Waste of time and not pinning the knight. Better is 3.Bc4.
    • 3... a6 4. Bb5a4
      ? Looses initiative gives black more time to develope. Better is 4.Bxc6 and after 4...dxc6 or 4...bxc6 then black has doubled up pawns and white can take e5 for free.
      • 4... Ng8f6 5. O-O Nf6xe4
        ?! Overly agressive attack that lines up your king and knight on the e file after the opponent has castled is a recipe for disaster.
        • 6. d4
          !? A risky move that could have given black the advantage. Safer would be to play 6.Bxc6 dxc6 7.Re1! and white has the chance to blow up the center with blacks king right in the middle of it.
          • 6... exd4 7. Rf1e1 f5 8. Nf3d2 d5
            ? Does nothing. Much better is to play 8...Be7 and prepare to castle kingside. Black might loose a pawn, but it is much better than loosing the knight.
            • 9. Ba4xc6 bxc6 10. f3 Bf8c5 11. fxe4 dxe4 12. Nd2b3 Bc5b6 13. Bc1f4 d3 14. Kg1h1
              ?! This isn't bad, but better is 14.Be3. If 14...Bxb3 then 15.Rxe3 preparing to play g4
              • 14... Qd8h4
                ? Better is 14...0-0 to develop rook to attack center or even 14...c5
                • 15. Bf4g3 Qh4f6 16. Nb1c3 f4
                  ?? Bad move, much better would have been 16...0-0 to get king out of the center! white has a chance for counter attack now.
                  • 17. Re1xe4
                    ! White takes full advantage against black's uncastled king and begins a counter attack. Blacks over-extended and under-defended center pawns die as white developes pieces and attacks.
                    • 17... Bc8e6 18. Re4xf4 Be6f5 19. cxd3 O-O-O 20. Bg3h4
                      ?? Bad because of g5 and after that Ne4 doesn't work. Better is 20. Qf3! And black is in trouble after Ne4.
