  • White: A Class A player.
  • Black: A Class D player.
  • Where: A speed game on the
  • internet.
1








      [Next]
  • Standard King Pawn Opening.
2








      [Next]
  • Develops and forces Black to defend
  • e5.
3








      [Next]
  • This is clearly a poor move because
  • the pawn move blocks the queen and
  • knight and fails to develope a piece.
  •  Much better would be 2. ... Nc6
  • or even 2. ... Nf6.

  • It seems amazing that White can take
  • this pawn, but his goal is to expose
  • the Black King to attack.
  •  Black's best defense would be to
  • play Qe7, Nf3 Qxe4+, Be2 and Black is
  • behind in developement and has his
  • queen exposed.
5








      [Next]
  • Black can't afford to open his king
  • up so much.
6








      [Next]
  • The check is pretty nasty.  If
  • black plays g6 now, then Qxe5+ forks
  • the king and the rook on h8.
7








      [Next]
  • So the king moves.
8








      [Next]
  • White gets a pawn and continues to
  • harass the king.
9








      [Next]
  • The king must move.
  • Predict the next move
  • for white.
10








      [Next]
  • Adds another piece to the attack.
11








      [Next]
  • Predict the next move
  • for white.
12








      [Next]
  • Force the king into a "corner."
13








      [Next]
  • Predict the next move
  • for white.
14








      [Next]
  • Add the bishop on c1 to the attack.
15








      [Next]
  • Predict the next move
  • for white.
16








      [Next]
  • This is the final blow to Black
  • because of two threats.  The
  • first threat is hxg5 double check
  • followed by Qf7 mate.  The second
  • threat is Bxg5+ forking the king and
  • queen.  Black can defend one
  • threat or the other but not both, so
  • he is lost.
17








      [Next]
  • It is interesting to go back and look
  • at what happens if black tries to
  • defend by blocking with the pawn,
  • because this allows black to guard
  • the
  • f5 square.
  • Predict the next move
  • for white.
18








      [Next]
  • This will force the king to move.
19








      [Next]
  • Predict the next move
  • for white.
20








      [Next]
  • This threatens forced checkmate.
21








      [Next]
  • Black makes a hole for himself so
  • that his king can escape the attack.
  • Predict the next move
  • for white.
22








      [Next]
  • This rather strange tactic allows
  • white to get an winning advantage
  • by capturing material. Black can't
  • take the bishop on b7 because then
  • white will play Qf5 mate.
