Needles and pins

ktji (UK) - Hennie Schaper 
Vienna Game

1. e4 Nf6 2. Nc3 e5 3. d4 exd4 4. Qxd4 Nc6 5. Qd1 Bc5 6. h3 d6 7. Nf3 Qe7 8. Bd3 Bd7 9. 0-0 0-0-0


The opening has gone well for black. White refused the Alekhine's defence and transposed into the Vienna game, but wasted some time with the Queen moves, and weakened the king side with the pawn move to h3. The scene is set for a sharp game with opposite castling.

10. Bg5 h6 11. Nd5 Qe6 12. Nxf6 gxf6 13. Bh4 Rhg8 14. Bg3



White is already lost after some inaccuracies and the blunder Bg3. The pins are killing - and quickly.

14. ... Rxg3 15.b4 Qxh3 16. Nh4 


16. ... Rxg2+ 17. Nxg2 Rg8 0-1

It's mate in two. One of my quickest wins since I started playing chess again.
