In the above position, my opponent gave me an opportunity after committing a blunder, Ne5.
The game started with e4 and I replied with c6, the Caro-Kann Defense. I like this against 1. e4 since it leads to structures I'm familiar with. On the other hand, Black has to watch out for some nasty traps. There are a lot of them and I have fallen victim to it a lot of times.
After a few moves, the following position was reached.
Black has equalized in the opening and will proceed to the middle game with a pleasant position. My usual plan is to castle king side and push my a and b pawns for a minority attack.
I usually place my dark squared Bishop on e7 or d6 but in this game White's d-pawn is on d3 and his f2 pawn is a bit weak. From c5, the Bishop can reposition on the b8 to h2 diagonal via a7 and form a battery with my Queen on c7.
I sensed a king side attack so I moved Nh5 but this is easily countered by g4.
In the above position gxh5 gives White the advantage but he blundered with Ne5 instead.
Finally the position is reached where Black can force a win. I found Nf3 which is already winning but the computer analysis offers an even better move, Ng6.
My opponent was stubborn and didn't resign immediately and the game went on for some more moves.
