I snap the pawn off, threatening to take his bishop on d5 and reaching a drawn opposite coloured bishops ending. |

Attacking e3, and preventing any immediate advance of my a pawn as that would leave my knight on b6 en prise to his bishop. |

I play here, rather than to e2, to stop his bishop coming in to g2 to attack my pawn on h3 (he would probably play g7-g5 first) |

I also wanted this square for this bishop, as I want to challenge his control of the h1-a8 diagonal and then I can threaten to promote my a pawn. |

He avoids the harrassment of his bishop. I decide to give up a pawn to push my a pawn again. |
