1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4. O-O Ng4!!

Fishing Pole


5. d4 exd4 6. Nxd4 h5!!

My favorite blitz position -
I played 6 ... Bc5 against Chessmaster Andy Rea
in a rated game 6 years ago.

7. Nf3 Bc5

The Fishing Pole Attack formation is in place but
the f3-knight prevents the coup de grace with ... Qh4


8. Nc3 d6 9. Bg5

Giving me tempi for the Kingside pawn storm,
a common error.



9 ... f6 10. Bf4 g5 11. Bd2 Bd7

Fritz 9 likes the Crab plan of ... h4-h3



12. Qe2 Nce5 13. Bxd7+ Qxd7!  14. Nxe5 fxe5! 15. Nd5 O-O-O

I didn't want an endgame after  15 ... c6!  16  Q:g4!


16. Bxg5 Rdg8 17. Nf6?

leads to a flashy finish


17 ...  Nxf6! 18. Bxf6 Qh3!  19. g3 Rxg3+!!
20. hxg3 Qxg3+ 21. Kh1 Qh3+


{White resigns} 0-1

22 Kg2  Rg8+  mates soon
