Difficult pawn calculation

  • 1. e4 e5 2. Ng1f3 Nb8c6 3. Bf1c4 Bf8e7 4. O-O d6 5. c3 Bc8g4 6. d3 Nc6a5 7. Bc4b5 c6
    This Bishop is going to be tucked away, with Black gaining a lot of space
    • 8. Bb5a4 b5
      However in many situations such pawn advances can be considered weakening in the long term
      • 9. Ba4c2 c5 10. b4
        My Bishop wants to go back on b3
        • 10... Na5c6 11. h3
          Perhaps bad timing, now after trades Black could win a pawn on b4 if he wanted
          • 11... Bg4xf3 12. Qd1xf3 cxb4 13. cxb4 Nc6d4
            Black instead uses the more strategic option, placing a Knight on a strong central square
            • 14. Qf3d1 Ra8c8 15. Nb1a3 Qd8c7
              ? Here Bb2 can be played, as Nxc2 would then be met with Rc1
              • 16. Bc2b3
                Missed
                • 16... Nd4xb3
                  Black gives up the Knight and helps White's development of the Queen, developing with Nf6 was better
                  • 17. Qd1xb3 Qc7c3 18. Ra1b1
                    ? Nxb5 was actually playable, as Qxa1 would simply be met with Bb2
                    • 18... a6 19. Bc1e3 Qc3xb3 20. Rb1xb3 Ng8f6 21. Rf1c1
                      Contesting the open file... after trades, the position is maybe slightly better for Black
