Erich Kampenhuber (1675) - Spanton (1911)
English
1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.g3?!
There are 188 examples of this move in ChessBase's 2026 Mega database, including once by a player rated over 2600, albeit at blitz, but letting Black gain space with tempo is at least questionable.
3...d4
This is better than 3..Nf6, although the latter is almost three times more common.
4.Nb5
Not 4.Ne4?? f5.
4...a6 5.Na3 Bc5!?
Stockfish18 and Dragon1 like 5...c5 and 5...e5, but the text, which is apparently a novelty, was played with the following sequence in mind.
6.b3!? d3!?

7.exd3??
7.exd3??
Black is better, but not winning, after 7.Bb2 or 7.Nf3.
7...Qf6 0-1
Instructive mistake by opponent after your dynamic d3. Nice to get quick win. congrats. mom
ReplyDeleteI tend to think of the queen as having compass power - the ability to attack in all directions. It's why games can be brutally short when players get out of book early.
