{ Start with e4! } 1. e4 { [%clk 0:15:00] } 1... e5 { Develop your knight. [%clk 0:15:00] } 2. Nf3 { [%clk 0:15:10] } ( 2. Nc3 { The other knight is better to start with. } ) 2... Nc6 { Develop your bishop. [%clk 0:15:13] } 3. Bb5 { [%clk 0:15:24] } ( 3. Bc4 { This place is good too, but in this case Ruy Lopez was played again. } ) 3... Nf6 { This is the Berlin Defense. What would you play now? [%clk 0:15:25] } 4. O-O { Great! [%clk 0:15:32] } ( 4. d3 { This move isn't bad, but a little bit passive. } ) ( 4. Nc3 { This move is too passive! } ) 4... d6 { This is the Steinitz Defense. How can we respond to that? [%clk 0:15:35] } 5. d4 { Great, we fight for the center! Black hasn't castled yet. [%csl Ge8] [%clk 0:15:32] } ( 5. Re1 { Great Re1 is the best move. There is another move, which is also okay. } ) ( 5. c3 { This loses to Nxe4. [%csl Ge4][%cal Gf6e4] } ) 5... Bd7 { This move stops the pin. What should we do next`? [%clk 0:15:46] } 6. dxe5 { Great! Let's continue. [%clk 0:15:39] } ( 6. d5 { Great! Playing this move is still good, in the game however I chose xe5. } ) ( 6. Nc3 { This move is good too, but it allows black to develop and prepare to castle. [%csl Ge7][%cal Gf8e7,Ge8g8] } ) 6... Nxe5 { What do we take now first? This is important! [%csl Ge5,Gd7][%cal Gf3e5,Gb5d7] [%clk 0:15:55] } 7. Bxd7+ { Correct! The bishop is hanging, while the Knight is defended by the Queen anyways. We keep controlling the game. [%csl Gf3][%cal Gd1f3] [%clk 0:15:49] } ( 7. Be2 { This move loses the pawn. [%csl Be4][%cal Bf6e4] } ) ( 7. Bd3 { That is a little bit passive. [%csl Bc2,Bd3,Be4] } ) ( 7. Nxe5 { This move forces us to play passive, because the rook will be threatened after taking the bishop and the knight is hanging aswell. Black might get some time. [%csl Bb5,Bf1,Be5,Gd3][%cal Bd7b5,Bb5f1,Bd6e5,Ge5d3] } ) 7... Nfxd7 { What looks natural for you here? [%clk 0:15:37] } 8. Nc3 { Good move. We developed another piece! [%clk 0:15:57] } ( 8. Nd4 { Great move. In the game I prefered to develop another piece instead. } ) ( 8. Bd2 { Too passive. } ) ( 8. Be3 { Try something else. } ) ( 8. Bf4 { After the exchange this is not an active position. [%csl Bf3,Bd6,Bc7][%cal Be5f3] } ) ( 8. Bg5 { Careful! The bishop is not defended after the exchange with check! [%csl Bf3,Rg1][%cal Be5f3] } ) 8... Nxf3+ { How should you recapture? [%clk 0:15:35] } 9. Qxf3 { Correct! The king stays safe this way. [%clk 0:16:11] } ( 9. gxf3 { This exposes the king and weakens the pawnstructure. [%csl Rf3,Rf2,Rh2][%cal Rg6g2] } ) 9... Ne5 { Black threatens our Queen. Where should we move it? [%clk 0:15:48] } 10. Qg3 { Very good! The Queen is in position for an attack if black castles kingside and hard to reach by the knight. [%csl Gg7][%cal Gg3g7,Ge8g8,Be5g3,Bg3e5] [%clk 0:16:19] } ( 10. Qf4 { Black will continue to develop. [%csl Ge7][%cal Gf8e7] } ) ( 10. Qf5 { Here the Queen will get chased away. [%cal Gg7g6] } ) ( 10. Qh3 { Black will try to exchange Queens. [%csl Gd7][%cal Gd8d7] } ) ( 10. Qh5 { Here the Queen will get chased away. [%cal Gg7g6] } ) 10... g6 { Black couldn't move his bishop away, so he built a fianchetto. How can we attack this? [%csl Gg7][%cal Rf8e7,Gf8g7] [%clk 0:14:33] } 11. f4 { Correct! We attack the knight! [%clk 0:16:25] } ( 11. f3 { This is too passive. } ) ( 11. Bg5 { That is a very good move! Exchanging bishops to weaken black's position. But try to find a good pawn move instead. } ) ( 11. Bf4 { Too passive. } ) ( 11. Nd5 { The knight can be chased away easily. [%cal Bc7c6] } ) 11... Nc6 { How would you proceed the attack? [%clk 0:14:31] } 12. Nd5 { Great move! This is a good position for the knight! [%csl Gf6,Ge7][%cal Gd5e7,Gd5f6] [%clk 0:16:28] } 12... Bg7 { How can we limitate the squares of our opponent? [%clk 0:14:12] } 13. c3 { Right! The knight and the bishop are restricted for now. [%csl Rb4,Rd4,Re5][%cal Rc6d4,Rc6b4,Rg7d4] [%clk 0:16:42] } ( 13. f5 { This is a good move, but black might have some counterplay. [%csl Ge5][%cal Gg7e5] } ) 13... O-O { How would you continue to attack? [%clk 0:14:09] } 14. f5 { Great! Black has to be careful now. [%clk 0:16:56] } 14... f6 { Blunder by black. How can we react? [%clk 0:13:46] } 15. fxg6 { A pawn is a pawn! :) [%clk 0:17:04] } ( 15. Nxf6+ { This move loses the knight! [%csl Bf6][%cal Bd8f6] } ) 15... hxg6 { And now? [%clk 0:13:47] } 16. Qxg6 { We are putting much pressure on black now! [%clk 0:17:17] } 16... Ne5 { What next? [%clk 0:13:54] } 17. Qg3 { Yes! Retreat, but stay in the g-file! [%csl Gg8][%cal Gg3g8] [%clk 0:17:30] } ( 17. Qg5 { This loses the Queen. [%csl Gg5][%cal Gf6g5] } ) ( 17. Qg4 { This loses the Queen. [%csl Gg4][%cal Ge5g4] } ) ( 17. Qh5 { Black's bishop is no longer pinned and can move freely. [%csl Gg7][%cal Gg7h6,Gg7h8] } ) ( 17. Qf5 { Black's bishop is no longer pinned and can move freely. [%csl Gg7][%cal Gg7h6,Gg7h8] } ) 17... c6 { Oh no our knight is being attacked. What should we do? [%clk 0:13:59] } 18. Bh6 { Great! That is the key move here! We threaten with checkmate! [%csl Gg7][%cal Gh6g7,Gg3g7] [%clk 0:17:43] } ( 18. Nxf6+ { This loses the knight! [%csl Gf6][%cal Gf8f6] } ) ( 18. Nb4 { Take a look. Where is black's king and where is your knight? pretty far away. [%csl Bb4,Bg8][%cal Bb4g8,Bg8b4] } ) ( 18. Nf4 { This move threats with a fork, but black can prevent it easily. So the move is too passive. [%csl Be8][%cal Gf4e6,Bd8e8] } ) ( 18. Ne3 { This is a bad move. You retreat plus you block the bishop. Also the Queen might pin it. [%cal Gc1h6,Bd8b6,Bb6g1] } ) 18... Rf7 { Black prevents checkmate. What now? [%clk 0:13:59] } 19. Nxf6+ { Right! Neither rook nor bishop nor queen can take our knight without losing! [%csl Rf6][%cal Rg7f6,Rf7f6,Rd8f6] [%clk 0:17:57] } 19... Kh8 { The king moves away. 2 pieces are hanging. What now? [%csl Bf6,Bh6] [%clk 0:13:08] } 20. Bxg7+ { Yes exchanging bishops might be a good idea. [%clk 0:17:34] } 20... Rxg7 { How can we checkmate? [%clk 0:12:59] } 21. Qh4+ { 1-0 Black resigns. I hope you liked it! :) And attacks are more clear for you now! :) Click the ‚ù§Ô∏è to motivate me to do more of it! [%csl Rg8,Rh7][%cal Rf6g8,Rf6h7] [%clk 0:17:48] } ( 21.
