Chess is a conflict between the ideas of one player and the ideas of his opponent.
In the following game, we see Black rolling out some of his ideas about how to treat the game - only to be rolled up by White's ideas, that counter them.
Wall, Bill - Danny
internet, 2025
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
7.f4 Qf6 8.Rf1 g6 9.Qh3+ Ke7 10.Nc3 Nd3+
Black decides to return one of his two extra pieces. It is an interesting idea: after 11.cxd3, White's forward d-pawn would block his original d-pawn, which would block his Bishop, which blocks the King from castling Queenside.
However, White can capture with his offside Queen, when the position is equal.
Black should have considered the more relevant 10...d6.
11.Qxd3 Qh4+
Another forcing move by Black: White must move his King, forfeiting the right to castle, or give up the h-pawn.
12.g3 Qxh2
Bill has ideas of his own. This pawn offer must be declined (13...Bxb4 14.Nd5+ followed by 15.Nxb4), and White gains some time.
13...Bb6 14.Nd5+
White will collect the dark square Bishop, anyway.
And more.
14...Kd8 15.Nxb6 axb6 16.Bb2
Black resigned
White's Bishop will win the Rook at h8.
White can also castle, if he so wishes.
