I hate this variation of this opening. I must thinking, where to place my Bishop. On e2 or on d3.

Whites' position seems not too good out. But every piece has its' place and function. The position has no weak points, what black could use.

 
8... Nc6 9. h3 Bxf3
I was happy about it.

Black has equalised.

 
13... Nc2
But it is over.

Must care of B on c2 - but why? I have a much better position, the black king is alone - I must give my bishop for a pawn to worstens the pawnstructure of black, and if it is not enough, I have one pawn in 2 islands. Black has 3 islands. The endgame seems to me better.

Another mistake.
