1.c4
e5
2.e4?!
A dubious 2nd move, which already leaves 'holes' in whites position.
2...Nf6
3.Nc3
Nc6
4.a3
Bc5
Ian utilizes the 'hole' on d4, which is now firmly under Blacks control.
5.h3?!
Now, its clear from the opening 5 moves that White is new to the game, playing the typical a3 and h3 combo. Its a pet hate of mine which I drill out of the
newbie's in our club, through a mixture of violence and intimidation... its quite effective!
5...a6?!
Grrrrrrrr... why I ought a!!
6.Nge2
0-0
7.d3
d6
8.Nd5
Nxd5
9.cxd5
Nd4
10.g4??
White must, and no doubt, will learn to develop his pieces, 7 out of 10 were pawn moves.
10...Nf3#
0-1
