Also im challenging with f4 square, which restricts Bishop on c1 from playing Bf4. Queens are looking already to the queenside so probably my king will be safest in the center. Bishops will be delevoped fianchetto style, Bg7-Bb7. Besides, why play g6 when i can take more space with g5. I have not decided what to do with my knights, i m black and i ll wait first for his developement idea and reach accordingly. } 2. Nb3 { now with the pawn on b2, Bishop on c1 wont have this square easily.. Bishop can either go to d2 or e3. d2 is passive so Be3, Bg2,d3,Nc3 set up looks logical to me. } 2... b6 { 1.restricts his knight coming to c5 or a5 square to annoy my pieces. 2. I do expect him to play Bg2, which would make my developement through b6-Bb7 harder because the knight on a8 will be hanging. So i want to exchange light squared bishops as quickly as i can. 3. If he ll develop his bishop on e3, pawns on b6-a7 blockades his way in advance. } 3. Bg2 Bb7 4. Bxb7 Nxb7 5. d4 c6 { my most awkward piece on the board is knight on a8 knight. So i m trying to bring it into play quickly via c7 } 6. e4 Nc7 7. c3 { this move feel bit inaccurate to me. firstly bishop on c1 starts to look bad. Now that the light squared bishops are gone, d3-c2 might also be weak in the future. } 7... h5 { creating space for my lovely queen. As mentioned, d3-c2 squares might be a weakness so i bringing my queen to h7-b1 diagnonal makes sense to me. Also the rook on b1 will be undefended and pawn on e4 will not be easily pushed. But if pawn stays on e4, what is queen on h1 doing? I also want to push g4 and fix his pawns on kingside. } 8. Ne3 Qh7 { Exploiting the diagonal } 9. Bd2 { He is clearly going to castle queenside and his pieces seem to start already look cramped. } 9... a5 { Want to annoy his knight on b3, if castle queenside, then knight has on a1 square to go. } 10. O-O-O a4 11. Na1 e6 { weakens d6-f6 a bit but i still have my dark squared bishop, so i should be fine. Also i want to push a3 soon and Bishop is supporting the idea. } 12. Nac2 Nd6 13. f3 { e5 would be more uncomfortable for me, as i did not really know where my knight should retreat. But e5 it opens the h7-b1 diagonal and could also be dangerous for him. } 13... b5 14. e5 { Now too late, because due to f3, i had time to play b5 and enabling me to bring my knight to c4. } 14... Nc4 15. Nxc4 bxc4 { im happy with the exchange because it open my b-file now. } 16. Na3?? { Blunder. But if 16.a3, i was going to play Nb5 and take on a3 twice to open b file and penetrate with my queen and rook. If 16.a3 Nb5 17.Nb4 then i can take Bxb4 and white cannot take with c pawn since Nxd4 and Qc2 comes next and if axb4 i ll play a3, if bxa3 Nxa3 followed by Qc2 or even Qb1 next } 16... Bxa3 17. bxa3 Rb1# { 0-1 Black wins by checkmate. } 0-1
