W: Jay-R Lirazan [Bonifacio Integrated School]
B: Rhal Sol Cruz [La Salle]
1.e4 e5 2.g3 Nc6 3.Bg2 d6 4.d3 Nf6 5.Nf3 Be7 6.Nc3 O-O 7.a3 Be6
Faced with an unfamiliar opening system, Rhal remembered GM Bong's advise - simply develop your pieces and castle early.
8.O-O Qd7 9.Bg5 h6 10.Bxf6 Bxf6 11.Re1 Ne7 12.d4 Bg4
Better is exd4 in order to give the dark squared bishop an open diagonal.
13.dxe5 Bxf3 Bxe5 15.Bg2 f5?16.Bh3
Better is exf5, to open the e-file for the rook.
16... Qc6
In all cases, it is well to unpin the piece in question as quickly as possible, not only to give it back its freedom of action, but also to liberate the masked piece.
The Game of Chess
17.Bxf5
Again, better is exf5.
17... Nxf5 18.exf5 Rxf5
We exchange in order to seize or open a file or diagonal without loss of time.

Better is Qd5+, forcing Q-to-Q.

Connect your rooks; they work best together.

Simplification is desirable if we have superiority in material.
