My season has been pretty bad so far - 5 draws and 1 loss in the 4NCL. At last I get to win a game! |

Defending e4, although there is no danger as 4.....Nxe4 is met with 5. Qa4+ winning the knight on e4. My opponent said afterwards that he should have played 4. h3 |

I retreated. Probably exchanging on f3 is better. Now I get into an uncomfortable position. |

He throws in a check, so that he can recapture the pawn on e5. |

In the two games in the Gameknot World Database with this position, black played Nb-d7 and won both games, but I didn't like the look of the position after 8. Nxe5 |

Of course, if I take with the queen, I lose to 10. Bb5 |

I can't take his bishop on d3 as my c6 pawn goes with check, followed by the Ra8. |
