What is the Best Move for White?



Click "Read Full Entry," below, to view the illustration. In this ten-minute blitz game, I played the White pieces against a New Zealander of a similar rating as mine. Black is just two moves away from resigning. What is my next move?

The answer is below.































In this game, as usual, I played the Drunken Knight. My opponent adhered to Classical principles by opting for a strong center occupied by pawns, while I went the hypermodern route. The board above displays the fifteenth move. I haven't analyzed this with a computer--I never do--and haven't studied it for long. There may be a better move for White for all I know. If so, let me know what you find via a comment. 1.Na3 d5 2.g3 e5 3.Bg2 c6 4.b3 f6 5.Bb2 Be6 6.d3 Bd6 7.Nf3 Nd7 8.O-O Ne7 9.c4 O-O 10.cxd5 cxd5 11.Nb5 Bc7 12.Nxc7 Qxc7 13.Rc1 Qd6 14.Qd2 Rac8 15.Qa5 a6? Poor fellow did not see the threat at all. 16.Ba3 At this point, he loses a piece, and that came as a shocker, resulting in an early surrender. 1-0

If you're playing and having fun then that is what really matters. The rest is icing on the cake! There is a lot I don't know about the game too, and that's what makes the game so fascinating, the sheer complexity and endless number of possibilities. There may be someone that comes on here and says, "hey drak, I found a better move than you did!"
