A40 Horwitz Defense

4 …Be7 too passive from my opponent.

7 …b5 free pawn

9 Qa4 puts pressure on the piece adds to the attackers. Eventually retreated back to control the center.

13 Bxe5 and I now firmly control the center and a necessary square. Black plays c5 trying to open his light square bishop, I keep it closed off. Bxh7+ for a free pawn and opening the king side.

16 Bxf6, not sure, may have been better off keeping my dark square bishop, but I wanted to press my advantage.

—trade was okay

17 Bd3 to prevent my bishop from being trapped.

18 f4 to try to press my advantage on the king side, eventually get my rook out that way if necessary.

19 cxd4 in order keep pawns in the center.

20 Nf3, I want my knight to get to e5 eventually.

21 a3 to be prevent black’s fork on b4.

22 Qe2 targets and wins black’s a pawn + bishop trade.

—this idea actually trades off a strong bishop and the ability to win queen and pawn, Ne5 is the better move.

27 b4 keeps my pawns strong and safe.

28 Ne5 idea was if there is a knight trade, I can put a pawn on e5 and open my rook on the f file, maybe some tactics there as well if the knight is not traded.

—needed to protect my a pawn.

29 b5 blunders a pawn? Might be okay.

—needed to just trade the knights myself
