One more nice chess game June 21, 2007

Ok, I seem to be in a good vein lately with blitz games on the Internet Chess Club. I play at home, after a hard day at work (oh well, ok, I do not carry lead bricks around, but I do feel tired nonetheless when I get out of the evening train), and I am not supposed to have much inventiveness left. It does show from my results: my Elo rating for 5-minute blitz is floating at around 1850 points lately, which is at least 150 points less than it used to be. But still, I can salvage a good game for annotation here every once in a while.
So here goes today’s game: a nice 19-move attack.
1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.f4 Bg7 5.Bd3 0-0
This is called “Pirc defence“, and the setup chosen by white is called “austrian attack“. (more…)
