i follow through with my stacking idea |

he follows through with my idea as well |

then moving him out I just don't like the knight in the middle of my business. I want to castle O-O-O at some point |

he retreats... |

It just seemed like a good thing to do if i am going O-O-O |

I didn't understand that. It seemd to give me a free move, one of the 2 I squandered earlier, (besides I have been burnt on that in OTB play) |

so i get my bishop out of the way and attack the hanging pawn (assuming Bxe6 later) |

i clear the queen but decide b3 so I can have a couple of pieces on the knight, I want to split that pawn at f7. |

I thought he had better moves... but I don't know what they were either , |

I decide to set my rooks up for stacking on g file |

|

|
17... O-O
|
he looks like he has a real strong castle side, all those pieces, except if he moves the queen i can Bxh6 |

|

I follow through with O-O-O |

i didn't understand the timing of this since his queen was still protecting h6 I figured Ng6 was better |

i go ahead and load up. His poor pawns are needing some back-up I figure Rg8 |

|

19... Ng6

I think about this a while. it looks like I win a knight now. Can a pawn really support two knights? |

I take it and look at my stats, of the 3 wins I averaged 57 moves against him, In my 3 losses I averaged 17.33 moves. I think I am onto something... ~~~ 2 days later~~~~ Ethan still hasn't moved. I am thinking he will Nf4 ...but I am still waiting |

He opts to save the knight and get a pawn (d3) for his efforts If I go ahead and swap two rooks for the Queen and a pawn here, he ends up getting the pawn at d3 back and opens me up in the middle ~ I don't like it it just doesn't have a good 'feel' to it |

he may still put me in check,but I like the swap, (or at this point i think it is a swap). If i am ahead on points against a better player, I want to get more material off the board. I kind of like Bf5 here which would have still put pressure on his castle position. but giving up my pawn in the middle like that just seemed 'wrong' |
