There might have been better moves, but I was studying and I had to move quickly. I had thought that I could develop my bishop to f5 after this, which would get me closer to full development with a tempo, even though I could have possibly lost the a pawn after Bf5. I also wanted to play Bf5 to prevent the h8 knight's escape route. I thought that if I could capture that knight for free, I could possibly have a winning game or at least a drawing game. | ||||

For some reason I quite don't remember, I didn't continue with the plan that I had thought of earlier. | ||||

Now I threaten mate. More of a hopeful mate threat than a dangerous mate threat. | ||||

I move my knight, but it's still defending the d7 bishop. | ||||

Down three points I didn't want to give up, I still figured I had a chance if I didn't allow the h8 knight to escape. But I'm not sure it was possible to disallow that. | ||||

Don't have too many moves here, but I chose one of the worst. | ||||
