 | | tpstar: <suenteus po 147> Nice game! The QGA with 3 ... Nc6, 4 ... Bg4 & 10 ... 0-0-0!? is an aggressive set-up for Black, but White has no structural weaknesses. Also, Black really wasted time with the Qf6/Qf5/Qa5+/Qb6 maneuver, allowing you to develop your minors with tempo. After 9 ... Qb6 consider 10. Bc3 as one way to defend b2 without creating any holes (10 ... Bb4 11. Qd2), then 10. Bc3 0-0-0!? 11. 0-0 and you can storm the Queenside. After 12 ... Nh6 notice 13. Nxe6!? Ne5!? is a tad messy. So 13. h3 Bxf3 but now 14. Qxf3 gets your Queen out and threatens 15. Nxe6. You lost time with 14. Nxf3 & 15. Ng5 instead of leaving the Ng5 there already. 16. Bxe3 over 16. fe is a matter of style; both are good. That was great how you won a piece (20. Bxd4 cd?? 21. Bd3) but then 21 ... Qe8 22. Bxa7 threatens 23. Rc1+ Kd7 24. Bb5+ with a quicker win. Very nice mating net at the end. =) |

| | suenteus po 147: I've just started playing 1.d4 again with knowledge of opening theory, so I appreciate your analysis and suggestions. <consider 10. Bc3 as one way to defend b2 without creating any holes (10 ... Bb4 11. Qd2), then 10. Bc3 0-0-0!? 11. 0-0 and you can storm the Queenside.> Actually, I did consider this, but rejected it. I'm not sure why. I need to make annotations while I play :)
<That was great how you won a piece (20. Bxd4 cd?? 21. Bd3) but then 21 ... Qe8 22. Bxa7 threatens 23. Rc1+ Kd7 24. Bb5+ with a quicker win.> Thanks for that. Very instructive and I totally missed it.
<Very nice mating net at the end. =)> Thanks. Main reason I posted it :) |

| | tpstar: <suenteus po 147> Just to clarify, I am a strict 1. e4 devotee, so others would understand Queen Pawn openings much better. As you review your games, consider posting them under a win or draw with that variation (as an instructive example), then create a Game Collection so you can easily find it later. For your opponent, the key strategic error was 11 ... f5?! creating a backward Pe6, then the key tactical error was 20 ... cd?? losing a piece.
