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. | 
   
    |

 | 
13... Ne5 
 | 
So the calvary to the rescue. I seem to have developed some inbred reluctance to putting my Bishop on f6. |

Maintaining an eye g7. |

14... Bf6

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

Okay I got it, but already I am wondering if I haven't opened a can of worms. |

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

Perhaps I have survived his sandstorm. |
