11. Nc3
And he develops again.

 
11... e6
I chip at his centre.

 
12. Bh6
He develops his bishop with tempo, attacking my rook.

 
12... Re8
The rook only had one square.

 
13. Qb3
This move scores two out of two in the database of world chess games!

I develop my Bishop. Now this position has been seen twice on the opening databases of Gameknot. On the database of games played on Gameknot there is pitagoran (2031) vs. wildrussianbear (1806) and on the database of world games there is Heck, Norbert (2271) vs. Mueller, Frank (2004). White won both of them.

15... Qf6
The queens adds power to the Be4 and also protects Nb6 along the rank.

16. Rad1
He mobilizes his rook.

 
16... Rad8
And so do I.

 
17. Nb5
He attacks a7.

 
17... a6
So I defend, and hit the knight.

 
18. Nd4
The knight takes up a more central role.

 
18... Bc8
And my bishop drops back, freeing my Nb6.

19... Bd6
Which drops back.

 
20. f5
And he continues his king side advances, threatening f5xg6 and discovering an attack on my queen. I can answer that with Qxg6 but then it means my king side pawns are isolated and weaker. My computer likes simply capturing on f5 now with the pawn, but I felt this left my king side pawns rather weak and isolated. 20...Bxf5 is playable too. 21. g4 doesn't win a piece as black has 21....Qe7 braking the pin and attacking Be3. White can get the pawn back immediately with Bxf5 21. Nxf5 gxf5 22. Bxb6 cxb6 23. Qxb6.

 
20... g5
Perhaps this is chickening out, but it does keep the king side closed.
