X0 1.d4 X1 c5 X2 2.d5 X3

[ A first significant alternative is the tranposition in a Sicilian Defense: 2.e4 X4 Such begining was systematically played in the 2th match Cochrane-Staunton, in particular in the game: 2...cxd4 X5 3.Qxd4 X6 Nc6 X7 4.Qd1 X8 Nf6 X9 5.Bd3 X10 e5 X11 6.Nf3 X12 Bc5 X13 7.0-0 X14 d6 X15 8.h3 X16 h6 X17 9.Nc3 X18 0-0 X19 10.Nh2 X20 Nd4 X21 11.Kh1 X22 Ne6 X23 12.f4 X24 exf4 X25 13.Bxf4 X26 Nxf4 X27 14.Rxf4 X28 Be6 X29 15.Qe2 X30 Bd4 X31 -/+ Cochrane, John - Staunton, Howard 0-1 B32 (28) 0-1, London m2, 1842]

2...g6 X32 3.e4 X33 Bg7 X34 4.f4 X35

ECB (ECO Codes Base) Classification: [A43-c**]

4...Na6?!

This Thematic Move (THMO:) is an Intermediate Move (ITM:) preparing Nc7.

X36 Nevertheless it is not played at the right moment and was quickly gived up for 4...d6 like in the Marathon game Littlewood, Paul E (2355) - Conquest, Stuart (2503) A43 (98!) 0-1 BCF-ch 93nd, 2005

5.Nf3 X37 Nc7 X38 6.c4 X39 d6 X40 7.Bd3 X41 e6 X42 8.0-0 X43 exd5 X44 9.cxd5 X45 Nf6 X46 10.Nc3 X47 0-0 X48 11.Qc2 X49 Re8 X50 12.Bd2 X51 Bd7 X52 13.Rae1

People do not be confuse Opening and phase of development. Thus, in this exemplary game, the opening was realized with the 4th move whereas you may consider the development is only completed now. All this phase is precisely the Thematic Middle Game (THMG:).

X53 Only now one reaches the Deep Middle Game (DEMG:).

13...b5 X54 14.Qb1 X55 b4 X56 15.Nd1 X57 a5 X58 16.Nf2 X59 Nb5 X60 17.Bc1 X61 Rc8 +/=

Black' s Plan (PLAN:) is to organize an attack on the Queen-side; White has a solid central position and may considered an action on the e-file.

X62 At this subject let us notice the presence of the King Air Lock (KIAL:) e4-d5 favourable to White owing to the mobility of the e-pawn.

18.Nd2! X63

Pointing at the Strong Square (STSQ:) c4.

18...Nd4 X64 19.Nc4 X65 Bb5 X66 20.Bd2 X67 Ra8 X68 21.Qd1 X69 Ra7 X70

          H.Rottier & F.Rottier

In this interesting Strategic Play (STP:) each camp plays with accuracy and the position is equal.

22.b3 X71 a4 X72 23.Be3 X73 axb3 X74 24.Bxd4 X75 cxd4 X76 25.axb3 X77 +/=

After this exchange Black has a bad pawn-structure and the diagonal a1-h8 is blocked off.

25...Bxc4 X78 26.Bxc4 X79 Ra2 X80

The Black Rook penetrates in the 2th-Rank, (BR2:) but other Black Figures are not mobilised; for White an action is possible on the e-file or the f-file, but has to be prepared.

27.Qf3 X81 Nd7 X82 28.Nd3 X83 Qb6 X84 29.e5! X85

This foreseeable Breack Move (BREM:) is played at the right time.

29...Nf8?! X86

[ After: 29...Ra5 X87 30.e6 X88 fxe6 X89 31.Rxe6 X90 Rf8 X91 32.Qe4 X92 the Black play is disorganized and White has a patent advantage.]

30.f5!? X93 dxe5 X94 31.d6! X95

Opening the strategic diagonal a2-h8 to the profit of the White Bishop.

31...Kh8 X96 32.f6 X97 Bh6 X98 33.Rxe5 X99 Be3+ X100 34.Kh1 X101 Rea8 X102 35.Re7+- X103

White has now a winning position.

35...R8a5 X104 36.Rxf7 X105 Qxd6 X106 37.Rg7 X107 h5 X108 38.Qb7

A very fine example: all White success has been constructed around the exploitation of the Mobile Duet (MODU:) e-f and essentialy based on the mobility of the King Air Lock (KIAL:), in favour of White.

1-0
