So he protects e4 again. |

|
| |
|

11... O-O

I finally castle. |

He takes. |

|
| |
|
|

|
I take back. |

He grabs the open file. |

Making d3-d4 harder, and also, by attacking b2, making it harder for him to develop his Bc1. |

Threatening Ne6, exchanging off his knight for one of my bishops. My bishops are better than his knights, as it is an open position. |

|
| |
|
|
14... Bf6
|
Now Ne6 is simply met by Re8. |

|

So the knight simply retreats, with loss of time. |

|
| |
|
|

I at last develop my Bc8 and connect my rooks. |

|

Preparing to develop his Bc1. I miss a tactic here, I could have simply played Bxc3! If he takes my bishop, I take his rook. |

|
| |
|
|
16... Rae8
|
Instead I just developed. |

|
| |
|
|
17. Bd2
|
And he finally develops his Bc1. |

|
| |
|
|
17... Rxe1+
|
I take. |

|
| |
|
|
18. Bxe1

he takes back. |

|

I hit a2. I am trying to keep his occupied, to prevent him from playing d3-d4. |

He simply has everything protected now, and putting another pawn on a white square increases his potential for his black squared bishop. |

Played to give my Be6 a retreat square on g8, should he play Ng5 again. Computer prefers Re8. |

Going back to the d3-d4 idea. |

by threatening to take on f3, I delay d3-d4. |
