Hi Flying Wolk.
You got Leigh Griffiths back, he will score some goals for you.
FlyingWolf - pongi3 RHP 2013
I was going to say good game, but you never broke sweat, I'd of played
the same moves 'cept I would have 0-0-0 or 0-0 before Nd5....OK. Good game.
This pongi3 lad is a bit of fighter, very few draws.
Today he perhaps thought his grade would just win it.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Bxc6 dxc6 5. Nc3 {An old favorite of mine, these days I wait till Nf6 and then play Bxc6. 5.Nc3 is harmless but you will be surprised how often Black gets into a tangle. Here is a case in point.} 5...Nf6 {This drops the e-pawn. 5....Bc5 holds it tactically (Bxf2+) 5...Bg4 is also a move. The common 5...Bd6 runs into 6.d4.} 6. Nxe5 Qe7 {That's a slack one, I'm sure Black can play 6...Nxe4 answering 7.Nxe4 with 7...Qd4, an old trick but no dangers for White who can emerge with a nice middle game.} 7. d4 c5 {That looks like a waste of time.} 8. Bf4 cxd4 {He's developing White bits for him.} 9. Qxd4 Be6 {Now 10.0-0-0 and White is really looking good.} 10. Nd5 Nxd5 {This leads to more bother. 10....Bxd5 11.exd5 Qb4+ is the move, that is why 10. 0-0-0 is so good. 12.QxQ BxQ+ 13.c3 Nxd5!} 11. exd5 {He's got himself into a quite a bit of trouble. 11...Rd8 looks best but after 12.0-0-0 White is coming out of the opening with all the play. All the bits will be in action, the open d & e files and Black is three moves from castling. } 11... O-O-O {Missing...} 12. Qa7 {And Black is big trouble now. I cannot see a good move for him, all the news is bad.} 12... Bxd5 {Ah Well. That is that.} 13. Qa8 {1900+ players still need mistakes to win games, this sound and sensible game by White with one wee iffy move( Nd5) is how to play against them. Good. }
