Attacking e6, threatening a fork of my queen and rook. |

So this protects it with my bishop. |

I am two pawns up. I am planning on giving up the exhange for a pawn, leaving me with three pawns for the exchange and an overwhelming position. |

I leave my rook en prise, and take an important central pawn. |

I finally move my Bc8. |
|

17. Nxh3
|
He takes back. |
|

And so do I. So for the sake of a small amount of material (rook for knight & pawn), I have established a huge centre, all my pieces are on good squares, his most attcaking pieces have been exchanged or driven back. In short black now has a massive advantage. |

He decides to re-centralise his knight. |

Opening up the long diagonal, making it hard for him to develop his Bc1, and also pushing my passed pawn nearer to the queening square. |

He tries something on the king side, but he just doesn't have the central control or the development to do anything successfully. |

Stopping his knight from coming in on e6. |
