I take an interesting position. This move might just prove to be important later on.

Dave looks to make up points by capturing the two pawns in the middle of the board.

A bit of rear guard action for myself.

Dave decides to exchange the Bishop for a Knight - I think that this move might just have been the killer move of the game for Dave. This exchange un-doubles my d rank pawns and eliminates a late threat in the game.

and it balances the board for me. Also, counting squares, I control 10 squares on his side of the boar5d and he only controls 4 on my side of the board...advantage me.

Castling! I also have his Rook in my sights, and I am still dominating the board and I have a pawn in my sights as well.

Rather than defend his central pawn, Dave Castles too.

So I think him and take the poor bugger. canon fodder for sure. This move also places my queen in direct contact with his castle too.

The Knight starts to make its way over to the battle

Leaving another pawn exposed to my wrath.

But a good move to defend both the Rook and the pawn. If I can get a pawn down to the 6th row in H, I will be just fine.
