- Standard King Pawn Opening.
[Next]
- Developes and forces Black to defend
- e5.
[Next]
- This is clearly a poor move because
- the pawn move blocks the queen and
- knight and fails to develope a piece.
- Much better would be 2. ... Nc6
- or even 2. ... Nf6.
[Next]
- It seems amazing that White can take
- this pawn, but his goal is to expose
- the Black King to attack.
- Black's best defense would be to
- play Qe7, Nf3 Qxe4+, Be2 and Black is
- behind in developement and has his
- queen exposed.
[Next]
- Black can't afford to open his king
- up so much.
[Next]
- The check is pretty nasty. If
- black plays g6 now, then Qxe5+ forks
- the king and the rook on h8.
[Next]
- So the king moves.
[Next]
- White gets a pawn and continues to
- harass the king.
[Next]
- The king must move.
- Predict the next move
- for white.

- Adds another piece to the attack.
[Next]
- Predict the next move
- for white.
[Next]
- Force the king into a "corner."
[Next]
- Predict the next move
- for white.
[Next]
- Add the bishop on c1 to the attack.
[Next]
- Predict the next move
- for white.
[Next]
- This is the final blow to Black
- because of two threats. The
- first threat is hxg5 double check
- followed by Qf7 mate. The second
- threat is Bxg5+ forking the king and
- queen. Black can defend one
- threat or the other but not both, so
- he is lost.
