But he puts another piece on d4. |

I miss yet another opportunity. I should have taken on f3 to weaken his king-side pawns. |

And now it is too late! |

I develop the plan of bringing the queen back and doubling on the e file. Computer prefers Qa5 and I tend to think that is what I should have played. |

Yet another support for d3-d4. Computer prefers c3-c4 followed by b3-b4. |

I carry on with my plan, but again, the computer doesn't like this move. |

I wasn't expecting this, it is a good move, driving my bishop from its powerful post. |

So the bishop retreats. |

And he at last advances. |

I threaten his knight. |

King protects the knight. |

With the threat of Bh5. I think this is a mistake. My computer thinks the advantage now switches from black to white with this move. Computer prefers d6-d5 and I now agree - it blows the centre open for my two bishops. It is just a move I didn't consider at the board. |

This seems a strong reply, although computer prefers Ng3. |

I simply protect c5 again. Compute prefers g5xf4. |

Gaining a tempo attacking my knight, putting another pawn on a white square, and now because the position is blocked it is no longer clear that my bishops are better than his knights. I think this is getting grim for black. |

Probably the best square for it. |

White contests the e file. |

But that gives me a chance to protect f5. |

Attacking g5 again. |

Rather blocking everything up. Computer likes Nf7 here. |
