1. b4
The best move, opening the diagonal for the bishop and creating
threats against the black kingside.
|
|
|
2. a5 axb4 ??
This series is equivalent to a "pass", as it completely
neglects black's development. Much better is 2. b5 e5 or
2. b5 f5.
|
|
|
3. c3 cxb4 f4
Already white has enormous mating threats involving the
long diagonal, a promoting f-pawn, and in some lines a
double check from a bishop on the a2-g8 diagonal and a
knight.
|
|
|
4. f5 Kf7 Nf6 e5
Black spends all four of his moves doing nothing but
avoiding mate. Any attempt to take some of white's
material just gets mated.
|
|
|
5. Qxc7 Qxc8 Qxb8 Qxd8 Qxf6+
The queen mows through the enemy ranks like a scythe through
wheat. Black may have avoided mate, but it matters not,
as white easily secures a winning material advantage.
|
|
|
6. gxf6 Rc8 Rc1 Rxd1 Rxe1 Rxf1+
This would be a significant swallowing of material,
if not for the fact that black is already down
an enormous amount of material.
|
|
|
7. Kxf1 Bxe5 Bxf6 Bxh8 Bd4 Nc3 a3
White knocks black out of the game, reducing him
to a powerless bishop and unpromotable pawns.
