Probably should have moved the bishop out of danger. |

Moving the knight left the pawn unprotected. |

By moving the knight (Ne7), black's queen is blocked. |

Moving the bishop opened the way to castle for white. |

d5 is protected by a pawn and a bishop. White will gladly trade a pawn for a knight. |

Qe1 forks the king and the knight, gobbling the knight. |

It was a trade, but since white is ahead, trades are to his advantage. |

Ooops. Forgot about the pawn. Gave the queen away. |
