Ne2 { [%eval -0.82] } { b4 was why I should have captured the pawn. Forces me to cramp my position, at least for a move. } 8... Ne4?! { [%eval -0.3] } { Inaccuracy. Best move was O-O. } (8...

After h6, if I retreat the bishop it sets up a fork. I went through this with Rob after and he suggested Ng3 would have been a better move. The computer prefers Bh4 on move 9, as this saves the bishop. Now if he attempts the fork with g5, I can play 10. Nxg5, Nxg5 11.Bxg5 and we'd be on equal material and I'd have what I think would be a decent position. } (9. Bh4 c5 (9... g5 10. Nxg5 Nxg5 11. Bxg5)) 9... h6? { [%eval -0.15] } { Mistake.
