now my pawns are double on the e-file and I've blocked my long diagonal |

|
|
|
11... O-O
|
he finally castles |

|
|
|

|
I decide to remove the dark-squared bishops (when people do this to my king's bishop in this castling position, they usually end up with a good attack) |

|
|
|
12... f6
|
he tries to run off the bishop (and creates an escape hole for the king) |

|

I think I'm forcing the bishop trade |

|
|
|
13... e5
|
he ignores me! |

|

I try to lure the pawn up another square |

|
|
|
14... Qf7
|
he fortifies and attacks my "naked" c-pawn |

|
|
|
15. Bxg7
|
I force the bishop trade anyway |

|
|
|
15... Kxg7
|
I expected him to take it with the queen |

|
|
|
16. f4
|
I ignore the c-pawn weakness and attack the king-side pawns |

|
|
|
16... b6
|
I guess he wants to put the bishop on the a-h diagonal |

|
|
|

|
I switch fronts |

I offer a queen trade to undouble my pawns |

|
|
|
18... Qf7
|
he declines to help me out |

I'll trade it away |

|

he could gain another pawn here if he plays cxb, axb, Nxb |

|
