? Bird System Strange opening move breaking king side pawn structure.
1... d5
Bird System\Dutch Variation This is the safe approach to the bird system and opens up for development of pieces.
2. b4
? again strange no developing pieces or towards centre Better was to develop the knight to f3 with a strong attack on the f5 square.
2... Bc8f5 3. d3 e6
Opening lines for bishops and attacking pawn
4. e4
? Giving away free pawn after dxe4 dxe4 Bxe4
4... dxe4 5. dxe4 Bf5xe4 6. Qd1e2
Interesting move attacking bishop and moving the Queen away from the threat of .. 6.Qxd1 7.Kxe1. However the threat is easily defended and he is also blocking his bishop in.
6... Bf8xb4 7. Bc1d2 Bb4xd2 8. Nb1xd2
This is good for white as he now has 2 piled up on the Bishop at e4 which is becoming hard to defend.
8... Be4f5
Black has fallen behind in development but has 2 pawns for this and a pawn in the centre and 1 central pawn to white none.
9. Qe2b5
This is a move with a good idea in mind but it is quite easyly counted after 9.Qb5+ Nc6 Black wins a pawn back but cant get the rook.
9... Nb8d7
Played with the idea of being able to come to c5 after 10.Qxb7
