Nice little miniatyre

Hi again. This next showing is a little game I played on one chess-site in 2005, against my fellow countryman. Enjoy.

ChessWanderer - Opponent

1. e4 My only choice basically, in the footsteps of Great late Bobby Fischer. 1. -e5. 2. Bc4 Bishop`s opening, one that I like to play when not my usual 2. Nf3. 2. -Nf6 3. d3 d5 4. exd5 Nxd5 5. Nf3 Bg4? Well, this move basically gives bishop for knight, since after next move retreat is not an option in view of losing pawn on e5. Also develops my Lady just like that. 6. h3 Bxf3 7. Qxf3 c6 8. 0-0 Bc5? Another inaccuracy, this move loses time as we will see. 9. Nc3 Nf6 10. Re1 Nfd7 11. Ne4!


White has developed optimally, but look at black´s position. That bishop is now under attack, e5-pawn is under danger, knight on f6 cannot move because of big weakness on f7...What will black do? 11.-Be7 Right, moving bishop back, which could have been moved to this square in one move too instead of two moves, thus wasting precious time! 12. Ng3! Regrouping, eyeing that weak f5-square. 12.-0-0 Ok, at least black has now castled, king to safety... 13. Nf5 here it is, right where knight wants to be! And it cannot be pushed away too easily. And that bishop is again under siege, hmm.. 13.-Bc5 Oh, again! That bishop likes to move around. Well, not sure if I would have wanted to change my beautiful knight to it anyway... Here is the situation:




Uhm, so what is the problem in black´s position, you may ask? He is castled, pieces developed, even e5-pawn seems to be doing fine. Well, look at the position again, and think if you can figure out white´s next move?



14. Bh6! This bishop wants to move too! Did you see that one coming? Now black decides to see is it taboo or not. 14.-gxh6 15. Qg3+ Ng3 Only move to prevent mate. 16. Qxg4+ Qg5 Again only move.

17. Nxh6+! Kh8 Rest is easy as black goes willingly into giljotine. 18. Qxg5 f6 19. Qh5 b5 20. Nf7+ Kg7 21. Qg4 Mate.
