I cant believe Contrapposto popped in for a look and left without making such an obviously clear move. He's just want to watch me slow cook.

Hey Contrapposto,
If your next move is 10....Nxd2
then provisionally...
11. Nxc7+
And I am AFK for maybe 24 hours.

10...NxQd2

I didn't expect my knight to have survived as long as it did. I was using it to create isolation among you pawns - weakening their structure on that side while getting one of your knights in the process.

There's nothing to take on c7. That pawn is at c5 which caused you to move that very same knight.

I'm assuming you meant 11.Nc7+...correct?

I think you are just "doing me slow".
That galavanting Knight! When it ventured down as far as h4 I thought you were mad.
I thought no way he is going to keep hopping around. He's bound to start bringing out some other pieces, Then when you leapt on f3+ (while I was blindly fixated on Pk4 orthodoxy ..."control the center"..."develop your pieces" blah bla blah) I bloody well screamed! A good lesson. Thanks!

Actually I was expecting you to take the knight and by doing so breaking up your pawn formation on that side. The Nf3+ was a result of that not happening...it was unexpected.
