This is a lovely little maneuver, opening up the position with advantage. He temporarily sacs a Knight for pawn. |

As well as hitting the Bishop, he is also now threatening Bb2xe5 |

I hadn't seen this. Now f3 allows Bh5 check, with a tremendous attack for white. I decide to sac a pawn. |

I retreat, hoping at some stage to recapture the pawn on e5 |

With thoughts of Ra8-a7, defending along the 7th rank, and/or Qc6-b7 and Nc6 hitting e5. |

He starts to mobilize his last pieces - his queen and rook |

I want to castle (0-0) but first I have to defend my e7 square, otherwise he can play Nd5-e7 forking king and queen |

Moving his Bishop up into an attacking square. I hope you are still trying to guess his moves. How many have you got right? |

With ideas of exchanging on either d5 or f5 and taking on e5 if he recaptures with a pawn. |

Did you get that one? A KNight sacrifice to open up my king side. |
