Annotated Chess Game 8120530 by Uncle Stosh

tournament game that was to start with conservative positioning.

1. Ng1f3
One of my favorite ways to control center before I commit
1... Nb8c6
thought this was ultra conservative so I elevated fight for position
2. c4
since center was void of pawns many options open
2... e5
now took a line of attack ignoring counter of B to b4
3. Nb1c3
d5 looks interesting location to take control
3... Ng8f6
P to e4 can complicate but not derail my development
4. Nc3d5
expected N x N with P x N to occupy d5
4... g6
still don't care about N exchange at this point so leave that to Black to initiate
5. d4
this position I like with P x P allows N x P and I still hold d5 with N
5... exd4
thought P to e4 causes more problems
