Let's try somehting there. But by doing that, I didn't realize that I left white able to move Be4, threatening b7. And guess what? I cannot defend it because I have to exchange the rook! How ashamed I was! |

Normlal. Now, g3 and my knight has to retreat on g7. I thought is was a bad place, but in fact it was the better destiny for the knight: route to d5! |

I thought about Bc3, but I smelt (?) danger. I wanted my pieces to regroup. U sghould have played f5, to prevent the white's lsb to get to e4, and rediploy my knight to the route. Instead, I thought about Nf4, supporting the pawn after the exchange. Do you see because it was not a good idea? |

White played the wrong move: g3 would have been blocked my knight. But even more, because with my bishop in c7, there is no defence against Be4. Rd7 or RxR+, and I cannot avoid Bxb7 and lose the rook. After RxR+, RxR, my knight cannot develop in d7 because of the white rook, so I am COMPLETELY LOCKED IN! |

? Stupidly, I didn't take advantage of my own plan, and I didn't go for Nf4. I realized the danger in e4, and I had no time to pla f5, so I had to retire here. Now, if white g5, I can only use this knight to retake the white bishop when it will take my rook. Do you see how, don't you? |

White loses the chance. I can take either take the bishop or RxR+ before blak does it. It was more or less the same, right? |

Now, the rook penetration is guarded by my pieces... provided they don't move!!!!!! What a nasty lock! And my own pawns block my dsb. |

Attacking the wrong pawn. Ra3 was due, in order to threat Rh3. |

Ok, so this is funny: my rook is all it can do, since if Ra3, Kb2. His knight, is true, is due to the defence of b5, but is still active and threatening in the center. My poor rook, instead... |

I have to untangle me, even at a pawn's cost. |

The right move to block my king. It's powerless. |

Another sac, just to free my bishop! But it can't leave, really, due to Rd8, freezing my knight forever. |

At last! But now I lose the pawn. |

Of course not Bxh2, because of Re7+, losing the knight. |

White could have played Ne4, and I would have lost a piece. Am I right? |

Starting a long manouver with no hope, since my pawns are weak. |
