  • Develops.

      [Next]
  • With this move it is likely that
  • White will play the the Colle
  • System.
5








      [Next]
  • Since White won't play c4, Black
  • decides to exert pressure on the
  • center.
6








      [Next]
  • The Colle System is an opening that
  • keeps most of the White pieces behind
  • his pawns until eventaually he is
  • ready to make an e3-e4 break.  A
  • good example of this opening can be
  • found in the book "Logical Chess Move
  • by Move" by Chernev.

  • This is the start of the Black plan.
  •  He wants to make a break with e5
  • in the center.
10








      [Next]
  • Part of White's plan is to eventually
  • play e4, so this bishop move helps
  • support it.
11








      [Next]
  • This is my pet system I play against
  • the Colle.  I have won many games
  • with it because it is not a
  • "standard" opening and catches many
  • players by surprise.
12








      [Next]
  • Black threatened to fork two pieces
  • with e4.  But the best choice for
  • White would have been to play e4 with
  • good chances for both sides.

  • Threatens the bishop....
14








      [Next]
  • ... so White takes it.
15

  • The queen is out where it will likely
  • be attacked.
16








      [Next]
  • White chases the queen ....
17








      [Next]
  • ... but black has a very strong
  • presence on the kingside where White
  • will likely want to castle.
18








      [Next]
  • Perhaps a mistake because Black has
  • much strength on the kingside.
19








      [Next]
  • Now if Black is allowed to play Bg4
  • then the threat of Bxf3 followed by
  • Qxh2 mate is very strong.
20








      [Next]
  • Don't know if this is the best
  • choice, but White is clearly running
  • out of options.
21








      [Next]
  • It is common in some openings to take
  • this pawn to blow open the king's
  • position.  The barbarians are at
  • the gate!
22








      [Next]
  • White recaptures.
23








      [Next]
  • It is now hard for me to find any
  • defense for White, but Chess Master
  • 4000 thinks that White can survive
  • with Bb5+.
24








      [Next]
  • White hopes to make an escape route
  • for his king.
25








      [Next]
  • Now three pieces attack h2.
26








      [Next]
  • White tries to kick the queen.

  • Find the win for Black!

27








      [Next]
  • Force the king into the corner.
  •  If here Nxh2 then Qxh2 mate.
28








      [Next]
  • Into the corner he goes.
29








      [Next]
  • Mate.
