I decided to make a preemptive strike on the queenside myself before White gets organized. I don't mind giving up a pawn, If I can get activity for my pieces. I have a fighting king ready to get into the action and if White tries to move his knights to the queenside, I can hit the center with a properly timed ...exd. Also note that my a6 pawn and White's King are on the same diagonal creating tactical possibilities. |

threatening Bd3 when the bishop springs to life and White even has back rank problems that might result in a mate. |

If White wants to fight for a win, I am happy to take him on. However, if White is happy to sit on the position. I was having a hard time figuring how to play for a win myself. One possibility might be e5 followed by h4, but I wasn't really thrilled about it. If White wants to play for a win he has to play Ke1. Putting the king on e-file which could be come open after ...exd. Even White's d2-knight is somewhat restricted, since if it moves, ...Bxf3 followed ...exd is a possibility. |

White seems content to repeat the position, so I made a draw offer. |
