[Event "WDCL Div Four"] [Site "?"] [Date "2013.01.09"] [Round "?"] [White "Walters, Paul"] [Black "Thorpe, Martin"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "D02"] [Annotator "Paul Walters"] [PlyCount "31"] [WhiteTeam "Wolverhampton 'C'"] [BlackTeam "Bushbury 'C'"] 1. Nf3 d5 2. d4 Nc6 {not optimum but ok, invites Bb5 pin and double pawns} 3. Bf4 Nf6 4. h3 $6 {not optimum but white wants a long term retreat for Bishop if Nh5} Bf5 5. a3 $6 {Effective but perhaps overcautious and e3 better than a3 as is a developing move.} e6 6. e3 Ne4 {looks good but perhaps a bit early and black is underdeveloped} 7. Bb5 {Great move and white is now confident of winning edge as light squares are weak around black king, pawns will be doubled and white knight poise to jump to e5} a6 8. Bxc6+ bxc6 9. Ne5 c5 {g4 considered but c3 opens lines for white queen} 10. c3 {subtle and coaxes black to gain a 2nd pawn but I saw that white attack would be ultra powerful, Q+N and black has no defence} cxd4 $4 11. Qa4+ c6 12. Qxc6+ Ke7 13. Qb7+ {Qxf7+ is white's target if Kf6 but black King has no safe squares anymore. Black can block and sacrifice Queen or play Kd6.} Kd6 14. Nxf7+ {Resigns due to} Kc5 15. cxd4+ Kc4 16. Ne5# 1-0
