1. e4 e6 2. Nc3 d5 3. f3 {In general, during the opening, you want to develop
pieces and control the center of the board. 2.Nc3 was OK, but 3.f3 is a
mistake, I think. You've put a pawn on a square to which you would normally
develop your King-side Knight, so you'll have to spend another move to move it
away. Better is 3.d4. This opens up your dark-squared Bishop so that you can
develop it, and it puts one of your pawns in the center, where it can be most
effective in fighting for control.} ({One possible continuation:} 3. d4 Bb4 4.
e5 c5 5. a3 Bxc3+ 6. bxc3 Nc6 7. Qg4 {This attacks the pawn on g7. This
position actually occurs quite often following 1.e4 e6.}) 3... Bd6 {Notice that
I'm threatening Qh4+, after which you'll have to play Ke2 and your King will
be in the way of your own pieces.} 4. Qe2 {Another general rule of thumb is to
develop your Queen after you've developed most of your minor pieces (Bishops
and Knights). If you push your Queen too far out too quickly, then it's easy
for me to attack it while developing my own pieces. Additionally, since you
moved your Queen in front of your Bishop, you'll now have to move your Queen
again before you can develop the Bishop.} (4. a3 {
(Just a hypothetical move, to demonstrate the threat)} Qh4+ 5. Ke2 (5. g3 Bxg3+
6. Ke2 (6. hxg3 Qxh1))) 4... dxe4 5. fxe4 {I might have done you a favor on
this one. You had to recapture the pawn anyway, and I allowed you to do it
while clearing f3 for your Knight.} Qh4+ 6. Qf2 (6. g3 Bxg3+) 6... Qxf2+ 7.
Kxf2 Nc6 8. Nb5 {This threatens the Bishop, but really, I don't think I mind
if you take it. If I recapture with my c-pawn, then I've got two pawns ready
to contest the center again. Furthermore, you should still be developing
pieces.} ({Better is} 8. Bb5 {, developing your Bishop and pinning the Knight
against my King. This also prevents me from playing Nb4, threatening the c2
pawn, which is difficult to defend.} a6 9. Ba4 b5 10. Bb3 Bb7 11. Nf3) 8...
Bc5+ 9. Ke1 Bb6 10. d3 Nf6 11. Bf4 e5 12. Bg3 a6 13. Na3 O-O 14. Nf3 Nd7 15.
Nc4 f6 16. a4 ({Better here is} 16. Nxb6 {. In general, having a pair of
Bishops is advantageous, so look to trade your Knight for your opponent's
Bishop, especially in positions where many pawns are either still at home (as
they are here) or off the board. Some positions can be reached where a Bishop
is hemmed in by his own pawns, and those positions are exceptions, but you'll
know these when you see them. The game might continue} Nxb6 17. Rd1 Bg4 18. Be2
Rad8 19. a3 {and we're about equal.}) 16... Ba7 17. c3 Nb6 18. Ncd2 Be6 19. b4
{Be careful about pushing your pawns too far in the middle game, especially
after the Queens are off. The risk is that they become too loose and too far
away to adequately defend. You should probably get your other Rook into the
game before you start trying to push through my Queen-side. Better is} (19. d4
exd4 20. cxd4 {Now you've got pretty good control of the center, having two
protected pawns in it and threatening to fork my pieces with 21.d5.}) 19...
Rad8 20. b5 Na5 21. Rc1 Nb3 22. Rd1 Nxa4 23. c4 Nc3 24. Nxb3 Nxd1 25. Kxd1 Bxc4
26. Kc2 Bxb5 27. Kc3 Rd7 28. Kd2 Rfd8 29. Ne1 c5 30. Kc3 Ba4 31. Bf2 Bxb3 32.
Kxb3 b5 33. Nc2 c4+ {I should have played this on the previous move. This is a
discovered attack. Moving the pawn put you in check, and it uncovered my
Bishop on a7, attacking your Bishop. Since you have to get out of check, you
can't stop me from taking your Bishop on the next turn.} 34. dxc4 Bxf2 35. cxb5
