My opinion, the Knight does not belong this close to my lines at this time. |

I really wanted him to take that Queen Pawn. Seems I never get what I want, just what I don't expect. |

A sidebar; looks like I can gain a pawn to enhance my material edge. |

Pretty sure my Queen is safe; and the pins definitely seem to favor me. |

Ah, Queen for Rook and six points to the good already - no question about my next move. |
