BLACK WON IN THE TWO KNIGHTS DEFENCE

I had black pieces in the game on the platform ChessOK. Time control 15 minutes per game. The game


lasted only 17 moves:

vugar79 - Nanomaster, 2024




Some comments on this game

After the game move 9...Be6, the following theoretical position is on the board:


The game move 10 Neg5 grabs back the pawn, but it is a loss of time. 

Better is 10 Bg5, continuing the development and hindering Black from castling to the queenside. After 10...h6?, there is a tactical reply 11 Bf6!

After the game move 12...Bd6, the following position is on the board:


Black threatens with the combination 13...Bxh2+ 14. Nxh2 Qxd1

Unfortunately, White had to play 13 Qd3

After the game continuation 13 Bg5?, the following position is on the board:


White's bishop on g5 is hanging. The knight on f3 is overloaded. In the game Bohm - Reshevsky (Amsterdam 1977), Black used it to play 13...Bxh2+! 

However, when grabbing the pawn on e6, White managed to open the f-file for Black's rooks.

In the present game, and in the game De Abreu - Harshavardhan (Chess.com INT 2020), Black used the half-open f-file to attack with 13...Rdf8!



In the present post, the Apronus chess software was used.
