1. d4
  {Queen's Pawn Opening. The Queen's Pawn
   opening move is somewhat slower than the
   popular e4, because White will not be
   able to castle for three more moves. Its
   advantage is that it gives White more
   control over tactical surprises and
   often provides more lasting initiative
   and pressure.}
1...d5
  {Queen's Pawn Game 1.d4 d5. Black answers
   symmetrically, challenging the center
   directly.}
2. c4
  {Queen's Gambit. The Queen's Gambit is
   the logical response to Black's
   symmetrical defense, challenging d5.}
2...e6
  {Queen's Gambit / Declined. The QGD
   (declined) branches into the classical
   lines (2... e6) or the Slav lines (2...
   c6). The Slav and Semi-Slav attempt to
   keep lines open for the development of
   the Queen's Bishop, but these lines
   frequently transpose when both e6 and c6
   are played (as in the Cambridge Springs
   Defense). In some cases, the Slav allows
   Black to accept the gambit and try to
   hold the pawn.}
3. Nc3
  {Queen's Gambit / Declined / Declined
   3.Nc3.}
3...c6
  {Queen's Gambit / Declined / Semi-Slav.
   I'm not familiar with this line, but it is obvious that Black wants to 
old
   onto its pawn at d5. It is avoiding the Nf6, which can be pinned by the
   next move.}
4. cxd5
  {Out of Opening Book.
4...exd5
  {Black wins a pawn for a pawn. Material
   is even.}
5. Nf3
  {This to hold block Black from entering the e5 square and to aid in my
   development.}
5...Nf6
  {Queen's Gambit / Declined (transposed).}
6. e3
  {Out of Opening Book. 
   Instead of pinning the Knight I will
   develop into the e4 square by placing my white
   squared Bishop on d3.}
6...Ne4
  {Blocks White's pawn at e3.
   This move is utterly pointless. It does not aid in development, and 
   it is basically void of any tactical benefits.
   Had the computer decided to try and hold on to the Knight here, I
   would have played something like this.}
7. Bd3
  {Clears the way for a kingside castle.}
7...Nxc3
  {Attacks White's queen.
   The only thing this does is remove one attacker from the e4 square.
   But since the Knight was attacked more times then it could defend
   adequately it was basically forced to take thus saving it some 
   tempi, had it retreated.}
