|
Black tries a creative response to the Evans Gambit, which wins him a rook. But then he focuses too much on offense, ignores defense, and loses quickly to two queens.
| 1. e2-e4, e7-e5. | |
| 2. Ng1-f3, Nb8-c6. | |
| 3. Bf1-c4, Bf8-c5. | |
| 4. b2-b4, Nc6xb4. | Black tries a novel response to the Evans Gambit. |
| 5. Nf3xe5, Qd8-f6. | White is curious to see what he has in mind. |
| 6. Ne5-g4, Qf6xa1. | Whoops! Now White sees what Black's plan was. |
| 7. Qd1-f3, f7-f6. | Trading knights would bring the White Queen too close! |
| 8. e4-e5, Nb4xc2+. | Unimpressed, Black counterattacks. |
| 9. Ke1-d1, Nc2-d4. | Black focuses on attacking, but ignores defense. |
| 10. Qf3-e4, d7-d6. | Black can't prevent the coming check, so he develops a bishop. |
| 11. e5xf6+, Ke8-d7. | White has his own attack in mind. |
| 12. Ng4-e5+, Kd7-d8. | White doesn't want the king escaping through the side door. |
| 13. f6xg7, Ng8-f6. | White cannot save the rook, but hopes to trade queens. |
| 14. g7xh8Q+, Kd8-e7. | The second queen's check foils Black's planned trade. |
| 15. Ne5-c6++, Ke7-d7. | The double check forces the king to make his only possible move. |
| 16. Qh8-d8 mate. | Black's queen had to watch the whole battle from the corner! |
