Black’s Center Cashes In

Opening: D00: Queen's Pawn Game

Player(s):

An unusual queen's pawn opening transposes into a type of London System. White allows Black an extra central pawn, which eventually turns into more space for Black. White's attempt at kingside play is not justified and quickly fizzles. Black makes a nice breakthrough pawn maneuver to get a dangerous passed pawn on the queenside. White is unable to defend accurately, his position collapses, and Black wins easily.
