5.cxd4
b6
An unusual move. As black plays ..e6 in this variation, it is unclear that white can take advantage.
6.Nf3
Ba6?!
[6...e6
is more prudent , securing the center.]
7.Bxa6
Nxa6
8.e6!
Black's sixth move is probably a mistake due to this move.
8...fxe6
[8...dxe6
9.Qa4+
is the tactical justification]
9.Ne5
A good reason to move a piece twice, the knight is on a very powerful square and Qh5 is threatened.
9...Nf6
10.Bg5
Black's problems are not over. Due to the poor positioning of his pieces, ..d6 is impossible
10...Qc8
Black defends his knight, but the queen is on an open file and will be subject to further attack.
11.Nc3
simple development is the key. White activates his pieces as quickly as possible.
11...g6
12.d5!
along with 8 e6, this is the key move in the game. White does not give his opponent time to draw breath by routinely castling. Whites 3 minor pieces and queen are superbly placed to attack.
12...Nc5
[12...Nxd5
13.Nxd5
exd5
14.Qf3
and blacks position is in ruins]
13.b4
Nce4
14.Nxe4
Nxe4
Black tries to counterattack, by attacking white's loose pieces.
15.Rc1?!

Kd8

19.Ke2

21.Kg4
is more accurate.]
15...Qb8?
[15...Qb7!
gives black some fighting chances, crucially defending the d7 square.]
16.dxe6
time to resign. Many games are lost by poor play in the opening, so stick to the basics, and dont break the rules without good reason! 1-0
