Nc3 ({Other moves:} 2. d4 d5 3. e5 {The Advanced variation} (3. Nd2 { The Tarrasch Variation})) 2... d5 3. Nf3 {Similar to Fischer variation.} dxe4 { Black wants an open game, these comes to several transpositions such as Caro-Kann or Sicilian set-up.} 4. Nxe4 Be7 5. d4 Nf6 6. Nxf6+ Bxf6 {Both positions are equal although white possess an inkling to penetrate the h7 (Bd3) square or just play the solid g3.} 7. c3 b6 ({If} 7... c5 8. dxc5 Qxd1+ 9. Kxd1 Bd7 10. Kc2 O-O 11. Bg5 Bxg5 12. Nxg5 Ba4+ 13. b3 Bc6 14. b4 h6 15. Nf3 Rd8 16. a4 a5) 8. Bb5+ {Of course...creates tempo up.} Bd7 9. Bd3 Bc6 10. O-O Nd7 11. Bf4 Qc8 12. Qe2 a6 {The black king still at the middle, that is the effect of moving 7...b6 early, its just created weaknesses at queenside.} 13. Ne5 { Yes, hit it while the rod is hot!!} Bxe5 14. dxe5 Nf8 {Black is scared to castle kingside by placing the knight at g6 first. This is the causal effect of delaying castling. But always depending on opening theory, however, on black's position its out of definitive planning. Its like you have to sketch first before you draw.} 15. Rfd1 {Only time will tell when black's defenses forcibly crashed.} Ng6 16. Bg5 {Now, the d8 square is an obvious threat.} Qb7 { Well, black is still unaware of the threat, but anyway, its losing position after all.} 17. Bxa6 {[%emt 0:00:01] Strike} Qa7 18. Bb5 Qb7 19. Qe4 {Black Resigned: This shows why the quality of level of play equals the rating difference between the 2 players. It started with a weak 7...b6 move, then in just a matter of few strong moves black collapsed. Thanks GM Guseinov, this game helps 1200 to expert: to learn this type of Anti-French set-up, Cheers...} 1-0
