FLAMES Cup
White: Sandy CASIANO
Black: Junior SOL CRUZMERALCO, Pasig City
1 e4 e5Chernev in Logical Chess, "A good way to begin is to release two pieces at one stroke, and this can be done by advancing one of the center pawns."
2 Nf3 d6In opening theory, this is called the PHILIDOR'S DEFENCE.
Fine defined the Philidor in The Ideas Behind the Chess Openings as,"One of the chief merits of the defence is that it is rather difficult for White to form a good plan right after the opening in view of Black's lack of obvious weaknesses."
3 Bc4 Nc6World Champion Emanuel Lasker in The Wall Street Journal's Five Best Manual of Chess, "Get the knights into action before both bishops are developed."
4 Nc3 b6 5 O-O Bb7World Champion Jose Raul Capablanca wrote in Chess Fundamentals, "Bishops should be developed to active diagonals during opening play. One such strategy is the fianchetto."
6 d3 Ne7? 7 Bg5 f6
Weeramentry & Eusebi in Best Lessons of a Chess Coach, "Pawns are an asset when they can drive your opponent's pieces back or contrl key squares."
8 Bh4 Qd7
Tarrasch in The Game of Chess, "It is best, in the opening, to make but one move with the Queen, and that to a square where she is not exposed to any direct or indirect attack, so especially not to a file in which there is an opposing Rook, no matter how many men there may be in between."
9 Qd2 g5
Wolff in The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess warned, "If your opponent has castled and you haven't, you are risking having your king attacked."
Furthermore, Seirawan's book Winning Chess Openings stated,"The purpose of the opening is to get a safe King and an equal middle game."
10 Bg3 h5 11 h3 g4
Smith & Hall in Modern Art of Attack, "The attacker should strive to open at least one file for proper use of the heavy pieces against the King."
12 Ne1 Bh6?
Mason in The Art of Chess warned, "Beware of engaging in open combination before castling, especially if you are second player; your King may become directly involved, with disastrous consequences."
13 Qd1 PxP 14 Qf3
Diag
14 ... Rf8???
Shipman in Portable Chess Coach pointed out, "Many beginners seem to forget they have an opponent, going about their plans without noticing the plans being made against them."
The simple 14 ... Bg5 is worth a try. It protects the f6 pawn while the h5 pawn is then protected by the Rook. And after 15 PxP, Junior can answer with 15 ... h4 with a promising game.
15 QxP+ Rf7??? 16 QxB PxP 17 KxP O-O-O??? [1-0]
