Still opening up the center; helping develop the bishop. Better is Nf3

5. c3
and the obvious push backwards

 
5... Bd6 6. Nf3
Developing the knight and putting pressure on e5...also prevents Qh4

 
6... f6
?? a poor move... an attempt to prevent e5

 
7. O-O
Safeguarding the king and putting the rook on the empty file for a hopeful attack. it's funny too, i seem to mostly use castling as an attacking move in my games. "castling is an attacking move"

 
7... Na5
Pushing the bishop off of the dangerous diaganol

 
8. Bd3 g5
an attempt to keep an attack on white, but black's pieces are poorly developed and soon exposed

 
9. Nxg5
White hopes to crush the king's side and end the game quickly

 
9... fxg5
accepts the sacrifice

 
10. Qh5+
and white leads into the attack

11. e5
white must remove the pawn duo

 
11... Be7 12. Bxf4
white continually sacrifices pieces to keep the pressure on black and to keep the poorly placed pieces on poorly kept squares

 
12... gxf4
and black accepts again

 
13. Rxf4+
the obvious recapture

 
13... Bf6 14. Nd2
here white attempts to bring the knight into play and also create a battery on the f file

 
14... d5
black tries to refute the knight, but cannot stop the following moves
