He is definitely aggressive going after f7 quickly. |

Blocking the mating square. But as I annotate this I am thinking that Bf6 may have been sufficient. I can only say that when I made that move I was holding f6 open for my Knight. |

The Bishop has no place safe to go. For some reason I seem blind to Bf6. |

So the calvary to the rescue. I seem to have developed some inbred reluctance to putting my Bishop on f6. |

Maybe I woke up or maybe I just wanted to see what would happen if the Bishop was here. |

Perhaps going after his King's pawn with Nxc4 was a better alternative. |

That check let me get my Knight off of the h file for a while. |
