    !? Ok if you followed my other annotations you'll be familiar with my opening.

      Bishop sacrifice opening - The sacrifice of a Piece worth 3 points you do capture the pawn so the difference is a lost of 2 points. The gamble is your giving away a key piece for position and play. The king is stuck out in the open and can not castle. What is more you will create confusion and surprise. No one expect this, even if they did no one would expect anyone to do this.

        ok Starting to take advantage of what is left behind. Once the king moved. White's Bishop was left behind.

          ! White trying to catch Black sleeping.
          • 7... O-O 8. Bc4b3
            Ok good So what is left behind now?
            • 8... Rf8e8
              The Knight, correct What did Black leave behind when moving the Rook?
              • 9. Qf1xf7
                The Black F7 pawn correct. Black did see this coming, however. If not maybe White could of done serious danger here, however as it is. It is clear there is nothing behind this attack except a simple check.
                • 9... Kg8h8 10. Rh1f1
                  ? Ok I don't quite get the point of Whites move here, I see what he was thinking but the numbers don't add up. Bishop on b3 is blocked, This was kind of a wasted move. So What did White leave open?
                  • 10... Bc8g4
                    Ok so that may of been harder to spot. The Square on g4 was left open.
                    • 11. Ke2e1 Ne4f6
                      !! This is kind of odd predicament white is in. Nothing is threatening the Queen however it can not move anywhere with out it being taken. The escape route being cut off make Whites Most valuable piece look like a worthless pawn. While at the same time Pining the Knight to the White's king.
