what is next best move?

this is from a draw game with BC
I believe it was the 2nd mistake I made up to this point.
My first mistake actually happened early on and the GK computer gave me a +score.
never less I'm posting here to check this position out

I may have posted this fen as black to move but I think it is white t move.

pawn needs to be on g3 not g4 hope you find fen diagrams interesting

Next move???
If it was me: I'd grab that knight of Brigs with your knight, but I'm not that high rated these days.

Two moves that occurred...
... to me at once:

1.Nxf6 and 1.gxf5ch. Possibly in the context of those moves, 1.b4 might be worth looking at, too, to deflect the queen from the 5-rank. If the Queen doesn't take, the pawn pushes on to b5 to trap the bishop.

Now that the g-pawn has been removed to g3, that makes a fair bit of difference, I think. Is 1.b4 Qxb4 2.g4 ... quick enough? Looks pretty complicated. E.g.

1.b4!? Qxb4
2.g4!? Nxg4!?
3.Bxe4 fxe4?!
4.Qxg4 ...
and White looks to have a strong attack for hardly any material invested. But can either side improve on this sequence?

thanks for sharing Archduke
1.b4 is what I should have played

I had the order of my attack backwards. I was concentrating of my N on the rim.



The option for the Q take or get her deflected was the better move and then b5 trapping the
LSB. was over looked.

Having the pawn on g4...
... possibly helped the thinking. The position draws the eye to the K-side, rather, and b4 really only comes into consideration if you start thinking about diverting the Black Queen somehow.

I haven't really evaluated the game down to a win, or whether maybe Black can hold or even has the edge.

I offered a draw, It was a game we played and moves were posted for a club game it took us over a month! Black had the edge, but was heading to a draw, so She accepted

You thinking of annotating it? Might be worth doing.
