Just developing bits on Kingside and tempting him to play e4 prematurely. | |||||

This is a mistake...if black plays an immediate e4 I'm jumping straight back to g1 and then playing f3 to open up the f file for my kings rook after I castle kingside. | |||||

Black is supporting e5...it looks like he really doesn't want to push d4. | |||||

OK lets start some play on the Queenside and get some pawns rolling and get my black squared Bishop active on the long diagonal a1-h8 then I can connect my rooks. | |||||

Looks likme black has similar ideas and he is also creating a retreat square for his Bishop. | |||||

I'm going to push for as much space as I can. | |||||

Gross error..chess blindness!...I was thinking of pushing d5 when I made my last move (d4). When I returned to the game I automatically played it without even noticing that my knight was threatened!! | |||||

Surely black should have playedexf3 winning a piece. | |||||

Another bad error. Black could still win a piece by exf3...I don't believe I just played exd5 especially because I was already alerted to the danger of black playing exf3! | |||||
