Where Do Ideas Come From (Part 4)?



With thanks to our Russian correspondent Филидор1792 (Philidor 1792), another of the tales of the "large centre" marches on!



1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Bxf7+


5...Kxf7 6.Nxe5+ Nxe5 7.d4 Bd6 8.f4


The "large centre" reappears.

8...Nc6 9.e5 Re8 10.0-0 Bb4 11.d5 Bxc3 12.bxc3 Nxe5 13.fxe5 Rxe5

Black has exchanged some pieces and remains a piece ahead.

White decides to toss a pawn to delay his opponent's Queenside development, while he sets his sights on the enemy King.

14.d6 cxd6 15.Bf4 Re6 16.Bg5 Qb6+ 17.Kh1 Kg8 18.Bxf6 Rxf6 19.Rxf6 gxf6 20.Qg4+ Kf8 21.Rf1 d5


22.Qf5 Kg7 23.Qg4+ Kf7 24.Qh5+ Kg7 25.Qg4+ Kf7 26.Qh5+ Ke7 27.Qxh7+ Kd8

28.Qg8+ Kc7 29.Qxd5 Qc6 30.Qd4 b6 31.Rxf6 Qb5 32.Qd6+ Kb7 33.h4

Black has given back three pawns, and here, facing an advancing passer, he lost on time.
