Time to castle before it's too late. You seem to pose no immediate threat... Am I wrong?

No not really. This is threatening, but you'll just move away and its over. Just gaining space...

And now I have your e pawn (pawn takes knight to knight three, knight takes pawn to king five. If bishop takes bishop to qween seven then knight takes back) ... The center is in my crosshairs :biggrin:

That's funny, I remember doing a totally different move...(13. Be3) Oh well, I guess that's what we get for a slow game.

Anyway, I think that Be3 would have been a better move anyway. Then I could do Ne4 with an attack. Very strange.

Anyway, I think that, even if you are up a pawn, the game isn't over yet.

Sorry for the slow game, but don't have much time for chatter nowadays. I have a very important and somewhat difficult end-of-highschool exam; coming up in June...
