3.d4 increases pressure on e5 3...exd4 a standard opening move
4.Nxd4 recaptures the material 4...c5 black gets a backward pawn
5.Bb5+ gives a check 5...Bd7 parry a check - intercept
6.Bxd7+ an exchange 6...Qxd7 parry a check - capture checker
7.Nf5 increases pressure on d6 7...Nf6 increases central control
8.Qf3 develops the queen - a bit too early 8...Nc6 increases central control
9.Nc3 increases central control 9...g6 increases pressure on f5
10.Bg5 develops the bishop 10...Nh5 attacked piece moves away
11.Nd5 an ideal square for the white knight 11...Nd4 loses material: N
12.Nxd4 an exchange 12...cxd4 attacker gets captured
13.g4 is ok 13...Be7 is tactically incorrect
14.Bxe7 an exchange 1-0
If that's not going to help you improve I don't know what will!
