Self Analysing games

Apparently one of the best ways for a player to improve is to annotate his or her own games. This is something i do too little of. I shall start to self analyse my games onto my blog for other's criticisms and thoughts... So there are going to be a lot of games go up here in the next couple of weeks because i plan on playing: ANU Open this weekend, NSWCA JUly weekender next weekend and then Coal city the week after!

Any How lets start off with my Grade match game played on Tuesday night....

Trent Parker - Terry Wall (1448)

1.d4 Nf6
2.f3 ....
I like to play the Blackmar Diemer Gambit (BDG) this is a transpositional tool to offer the pawn if black plays 2...d4
2.... d4
3. e4 dxe4
4.Nc3 c6!?
Black decides not to take the pawn..... you bewdy.... i get an open f file without having to give up a pawn! I can use this extra pawn to shoo away the knight on f6 :D
5.fxe4 Bg4+
6.Nf3
.... Now i was a little worried about Bxf3 here. However i ended up deciding that if 6...Bxf3 then 7.gxf3 then develope the q side rapidly to castle q side...
6...d6
7.Be2 Nbd7
8.0-0 Qc7
I had a bit of an inclinatation that Black was going to castle Q side....
9.e5 .... The plan here was to get rid of the knight on f6 and play Ng5 attacking the h pawn
9....Bxf3
10.Rxf3....
Keeping the pressure on f7.
10....Nd5
11.Nxd5 cxd5
12.c3 f6
13.

Need a break from the puter... i'll finish it later....
