Nf3 e6 5. e3 Bb4+ 6. Bd2 Qa5?! { Not a great move, in a 3 minute game it can seem imposing on the opponent to have a Queen and Bishop lined up but it accomplishes nothing and only gives Black issues. } 7. a3 Bxd2+ 8. Qxd2 { Nxd2 is the typical way to recapture but based on Blacks moves I think they rely on the Queen too much so a trade would benefit me. I would also have to pieces developed and be ready to castle and grab the c file in the next few moves. } 8... Qb6 (8... Qxd2+ 9. Nbxd2 Ne7 10. Rc1 Nbc6 11. b4 a6 12. Bd3 b5 13. O-O { White has more space and move activity with the pieces. }) 9. b4 Bd7 10. Nc3 Na6?! { Not sure what the objective is with Na6, both squares are covered by pawns, possibly Nc7? } 11. Be2 Ne7 12. O-O O-O 13. Rac1 { Principles take over here, there isn't a direct plan so taking control of the open c file is the goal. } 13... Rac8 14. Rc2 Rc7 15. Rfc1 Rfc8 { I see a tactical threats here, after Ne5 looking to swap the d7 Bishop, it frees up the a5 square for my Knight with a tempo on the Queen and possibilities of Nc5. If the Queen loses contact with the a6 Knight I can swap off the Bishop and Black must recapture stacking their pawns. } 16. Ne5 { [%cal Ge5d7,Rd7a4,Ge2a6] } 16... f6 17. Nxd7 Rxd7 18.
