[Event "Frydek Mistek"] [Site "masterchessopen.com"] [Round "0"] [White "Sikora Lerch, J."] [Black "Bombek, P."] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "A10"] [Opening "English: Vector"] 1.c4 d5 2.cxd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6 { The idea of moving the queen to d6 has proved popular in the line 1 e4 d5 2 exd5 Qxd5 3 Nc3 Qd6 so it is not surprising that Black tries his luck here too. The big difference is that White can occupy the centre with his d- and e-pawns, while the queen can move via the d1-a4 diagonal, which can help keep the tactics flowing. } ( { Others: } 3...Qd8 4.d4 Nf6 5.e4 e6 6.Nf3 Bb4 7.Qc2 Nc6 8.a3 Be7 9.e5 Nd5 10.Bd3 { with the brighter prospects, G.Beebe-A.Ramachandran, Edmonton 2005. } ) ( 3...Qa5 4.d4 c6 5.e4 Nf6 { (threatening to take the e4-pawn, but it is hard for Black to seriously challenge the pawn centre) } 6.Bd3 Bg4 7.f3 Bh5 8.Ne2 e5 9.dxe5 Qxe5 10.Qb3 Qc7 11.Bf4 Qb6 12.Qc2 Bg6 13.O-O-O c5 ) 4.g3 { The kingside fianchetto is also popular in the 1 e4 lines and is a solid reaction. } 4...e5 5.Bg2 Nf6 6.Nf3 Nc6 ( 6...e4 { is brushed aside by } ) 7.O-O Bf5 8.Qa4 { The queen pins the knight, but Black is oblivious to the imminent danger. } 8...Be7 {#r} 1-0
