  • 1. e4 e5 2. Ng1f3 Nb8c6 3. Bf1c4 Ng8f6 4. d3 Bf8c5
    I think this opening is called "The Piano". A pretty typical start to a king pawn opening.
    • 5. O-O O-O 6. c3 d5
      Aggressive line.
      • 7. exd5 Nf6xd5 8. h3
        ? Passive move.
        • 8... a6 9. Bc4xd5
          ?! A bishop on the main diagonal for an awkward knight is probably a bad trade.
          • 9... Qd8xd5
            Also from here my pieces are much better developed. Even though I'm playing with black I've developed every piece except my white bishop and he has only developed a knight. A player of his level probably noticed that he had put himself behind.
            • 10. b4
              Pushing pawns is a weak tactic in this situation, but he continues.
              • 10... Bc5a7 11. c4 Qd5d6 12. b5 Nc6d4 13. Bc1b2 Nd4xf3 14. Qd1xf3 Ba7d4 15. Nb1c3
                ! Probably a mistake. Better off just dealing with the threat. Some players don't like being left with a knight against a bishop when queens are still on the board though.
                • 15... Qd6b4
                  ! Aggressive but completely safe. His queen is on the wrong side of the action.

                    ? Again, for some reason he tries to push his pawns. Without support pawns are fairly useless with so many pieces on the board.
                    • 16... Ra8xa6 17. Nc3b5
                      ?? Loses the bishop.
