Na3 {although its a good surprise weapon against a weak opponent -do not play against a strong one.} Nf6 2. Nc4 {you mustnt make too many moves by one piece in the opening unless you plan with this move to effectively play with Black as you are tempting the Black pawns into the centre and losing moves 2... d5 sugests itself. The theory that pieces should be developed efficiently was made by E. Lasker the idea is their are more posibilities for the piece the better developed it is.} d6 $6 {technically this is dubious because i should take the opportunity to attack and take the role of White with 2...d5, but I personally prefer to play Black as Black and on the defensive.} 3. d4 g6 { actually the Knight is well placed on c4 against me if I am planning to play a Kings Indian Opening Setup.} 4. Nf3 {good natural development- allowing for a castling of the King, defending d4 and the Knights combine well to stop the natural freeing move e5. The freeing move is always on the square that a developed pawn is attacking, for example the freeing moves for Black here are c5 and e5. Always be conscious of your opponents freeing moves and if necesary try and stop them though don't go out of your way to do so.} Bg7 5. g3 {The fianchettoed Bishop on g2 is well developed to hastle especially the pawn on b7 and the rook on a8 but also influences the e4 and d5 squares in the centre. It also allows for the King to get to the safety of its castled position without too much weakening of the King position. Things to look out for in such King positioning is losing the Bishop leaves the King very weak, advancing the h-pawn can also be a threat and the Queen invading on h3 is often a sign of the coming of doom.} O-O 6. Bg2 b5 $3 {this move looks stupid at first sight but is an attempt to strategically swindle a inexperienced youngster in that the bishop can now get to b7 easily.} 7. Ne3 (7. Ng5 $3 c6 8. Na3 h6 9. Nh3 Bb7 10. Nxb5 $14) 7... Bb7 8. h4 $1 {In a slow game i would have the understanding that an attack on a flank should be answered by an opening of the centre but here in a quick game I dont play 8...e5. It gets an explanation mark simply because it was a good move to play in Blitz it would be dubious in slow play.} Nbd7 $6 {this is a dubious complicating of the position when to do so when White holds all the cards wasn't wise.} 9. Ng5 $3 Bxg2 10. Nxg2 Rc8 11. h5 $3 {sacrificing a pawn for a winning attack.} Nxh5 12. g4 (12. Nxh7 $143 Kxh7 13. g4 $13 {this was an alternative but worse in my opinion to the Brilliant play of my young opponent.}) 12... Nhf6 13. Qd3 $3 { a brilliant transfer of the Queen to where the position asks the Queen to be.} c5 14. Qh3 $1 h6 15. Nf3 g5 16. Nxg5 $3 {getting your pieces on the squares needed in order to hit h7.} hxg5 17. Bxg5 Ne5 $4 {under severe pressure I crack, i think it is still a won position for White but 17...Re8 would have fought on a while.} 18. Bxf6 $5 {its all over now.} exf6 19. Qh7# 1-0
