1. f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 {Black has played the so called 'From's
Gambit'. The idea is to develop quickly and create mate threats against white.
White does have to be careful, but if he avoids the tricks and traps, then
white should be a clear pawn up. At the moment black is threatning to win the
game immediately with 4:...Qh4+ 5:g3, Bxg3+ 6:hxg3,Qxg3 mate.} 4. Nf3
{Develops and stops the mate threat.} 4... Bg4 {Not the best move but renewing
the threat.} 5. e4 {A move which achievies a lot. It stops the threat, gains
space and develops.} 5... Nf6 6. d3 O-O?! {A move without a plan because now
black misses out on a potential kingside pawn storm.} 7. Be3 Re8 {Blacks
threat now is to play a knight to d5 as my e pawn is pinned.} 8. Nc3 {Controls
d5 AND DEVELOPS!} 8... c6 9. Qd2 {Importantly protecting the bishop and giving
myself options of castling queenside.} 9... Qa5 10. Be2 Nbd7 {After only 10
moves my opponent had taken 45 mins. Why? Because he cannot see anyway through
whites strong center.} 11. O-O {I could have castled long but this is best as
now black does not have an attack against my king. Notice that if i did indeed
go long then black does have an attack based on b5 and a pawnstorm.} 11...
Qh5 {Another threat directed towards h2} 12. Bf4 {Trying to get rid of his
'good' bishop and stopping his attack once and for all.} 12... Qc5+ {For what
it is worth Fritz doesn't mind this move but it does force white to play a
move he wants to play anyway AND achieves the bishop exchange.} 13. d4 Bxf4
14. Qxf4 Qh5 15. e5 Nd5 16. Nxd5 cxd5 17. h3 Bxf3?! {The bishop absolutely had
to go back to e6 to defend the weaknesses of d5 and f7. After this moves white
has a won game as the d5 pawn will also fall.} 18. Bxf3 Qg6 19. Bxd5 Re7 {to
defend f7 and hoping to bring the other rook to f8 to add more support to the
f7 square. At this point I notice a possible double attack on e7 and h7 by
pointing my queen on h4.} 20. Be4 {gaining a tempo by forcing the queen to
move while eyeing h7.} 20... Qe6 21. Bf5 {to gain time again kicking the queen
and forcing it away from defending the rook on e7.} 21... Qc6 22. Qh4 {The
aforementioned double attack only adds to blacks troubles.} 22... Ree8 {Played
so the king can escape via e7.} 23. Qxh7+ Kf8 24. Bg6! {Exploiting the
weakness of f7 and the pin along the f-file.} 24... f6 25. Qh8+ Ke7 26. Qxg7+
Ke6? {The other king move to d8 also obvious loses but allows a mate-in-one.}
27. Qf7# {Ironically it's black king that was more vunerable than whites.}
1-0
