this slows down b5. |

an early queen attack. now c4 is difficult. |

attacking that pesky b4 pawn again. |

just another brick in the wall. |

the b4 pawn is also pinned, so I overprotect another light square. by stopping c4 the bishop looks awkward here. |

gaining a share of the center, and contesting my queenside. |

the pawn center, although still dynamic is temporary. |

vis a vis. the queen rushes in. I will have to see what fritz thinks of this move. |

this gains space, and does not tie up my pieces in the defence of the e5 square.
I don't fear a check on e5 as the queen is all alone. I have robbed the kings knight of his favorite square. I am looking at c4! now by white in order to bring the Bishop into the attack. |

blocking with the bishop. and also keeping an eye on the c4 square. |

ahhh, now he sees. oh what to do. |

how about ignoring it with an intermezzo? Developing with tempo. Get thee away evil white queen!!! |

ohhh tradesees? ok. when behind in space, trade pieces!!! |

that pawn on b6 looks like a good a target as any. Two pawn islands vs one, and ahead in development. I like those odds. I did consider Nd3! that also looked interesting |

white wisely preserves the structure. |
