{This is a blitz game which I played after long time, I lost as I couldn't
calculated well in the Middle game and gave 2 pawns freely. However in one
critical postion(12..Nd4) I have defended well and made it equalized,
immediately I calculated wrongly and gave pawns freely by Pinning My
Bishop.
Things I learned from this game are:
1. When discovered Attack is there on a piece it is better to Play the
piece or Defend the piece instead of playing something else even though
the piece can attack.
2. Not to give pawns easily in a blitz game
3. Not to Move our Minor pieces in such a way that they gets pinned to
Queen or King (in this game both my Bishop and Rook got pinned)
4. Dont initiate the Exchange unless it gives you better position or stops
opponents from getting into good position.}
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 5.Nb3
{In my previous games I have moved it back to Nf3 and i wanted to try
Nb3 in this game. As c file is semi open for Black I dont want to
castle it towards Queenside in that case it is not required to move it
to Nb3 as in this game it was completely inactive throughout. If I am
planning to castle Queen side than It would be a good choice to move
it to Nb3 as Nc3 followed by Castling and than Moving Nb3 to Nc1 would
defend Whites King. I dont want to castle towards Queenside as there
is a Rook open file on C.}
5...Nf6 6.Nc3 Be7 7.Bc4 O-O
{Also Nb3 is blocking the best square for my Bishop Bb3. Better is to
retreat towards Nf3, or need to try Nb5 followed by Na3 which i dont
prefer.}
8.O-O Nc6
{All my powers are towards Queenside.}
9.f4
{I wanted to break the Center early, As e*f would develop Whites
position Black didn't exchanged
Need to verify breaking the center at this moment is good or later.}
9...Be6
{I was afraid to open the f file for black.}
10.Qe2
{I dont like to open Rook files to the side my king is castled. so i
decided not to exchange but to develop}
10...a6 11.Be3 Rc8
{Here I saw the discovered attack during the game, however what I
thought is when the attack is placed i can just exchange the Bishops,
This calculation was wrong.}
12.Rad1
{Here is my mistake in the calculation, I saw that Rc8 has discovered
attack on my Bishop even though i moved Rd1 better would have been Bd3
which would have strengthen my center and saved the piece}
( 12.Bd3 )
12...Nd4
{Here is the critical postion of the game, Bishop is being attacked by
2 pieces and Queen is under attack. However i came up with a good idea
i.e to add defence to Bishop and only way is with Rook sack so that
Black cannot capture my bishop immediately.}
13.Rxd4 exd4
{I need to capture the Bishop as if not My bishop would be given
freely as 2 attackers and one defender}
14.Bxe6
{I was prepared for Exchange down but my opponent took Knight hoping
for advantage.}
14...dxc3
( 14...fxe6 15.Bxd4 )
15.Bxc8 Qxc8
{Later when analysing i thought any way the b2 pawn can't be saved,
instead of b*c3 is there any good move. Then i saw the move Bd4 as it
is saving my e4 pawn and more importantly it will not allow Black
Queen to penetrate into my territory.}
16.bxc3
( 16.Bd4 cxb2 17.Bxb2 )
16...Qxc3
{I learned an important observation that do not exchange utill there
is considerable advantage either in postion or in piece. Here i
exchanged and allowed Black Queen to advance into White's terrritory
which is a blunder.}
17.Bd2
{Total miscalculation, I was actually down on time as i took lot of
time in calculating my previous hurdle Nd4. This allowed free pawn
sack and totally out of my hands. I thought better alternative would
have been Bd4 instead of Bd2.}
