closing the center of the board. After my failed blootstein he should probably not close the board like that as now my king is safe in the center of the board. |

I'm going to keep the center closed, in hopes that eventually i will be able to get my king into enemy territory in order to do battle with the opposing army. |

Develops his other knight but he doesn't have very many prospect squares. |

I will continue to take space, allowing my king more room. This expansion is necessary in order to fit the many apple orchids i've acquired over the course of my chess career. |

locking up the board, obviously a great move. It deserves an exclamation mark but i'm pretty modest. |

Just exchanging horses. Not the best of moves. Much better would be Na5 targeting the b3 square. |

His king side is really cramped now, it is clear my blootstein attack has left me with a solid position despite not being able to get my king up to the 8th rank. |
