I capture the pawn with my e2 knight and I am now attacking his knight at c6. |

Black captures my knight at d4 and is likely to be captured by my queen or e3 pawn. |

I capture the knight with my queen and I now have black's DB at b4 which is vulnerable and likely to be captured by my queen if not moved. This may force the DB to capture my knight. |

Black captures my knight as I thought and will either be retaken by the queen or the DB. |

I capture with my queen and there are no attackers at my gates, for now. |

I should now think of castling but which side. Black develops his g8 knight to f6. |

I castle long which brings my rook to d1 opposite the black queen at d8. There is a pawn between us so no immediate attack threatened. |

Now black moves his queen out to e7 to allow his king to castle. |

I move my pawn f2 to f3 to prevent the knight from moving down to e4. |

My pawns at f3 and h3 are protected by my LB at g2 and I move my rook over to f1. I am not sure if I should have moved to e1 as that is the file which the queen is on at e7. The f1 square is protected by the LB so believe this move to be better. |

Black moves his LB back to h7. I am not sure if this is to retreat so that I forget about him, which is easy to do, and then they shoot out and attack when needed. He is still pointing at c2 the square above my king on c1. |

I move my f1 rook up to f2 to protect the c2 square from the LB. |

Black completes a pawn chain with c6 which protects d5. However he has weakened his king by allowing access to the dark squares on the diagonal f4 to c7 with the king at c8. |

I move my pawn b3 to b4 protected by the queen at c3 and rook at d4. The black queen is at e7 and there is only a pawn at e3 protected by my queen. |
