  1. It's not a move I much want to play but how about 1. fxe5?

    It seems to me that White is struggling a bit with e4 under attack and with the queen overloaded covering both the pawn on f4 and the bishop on b6. I think I can keep material level and not compromise my structure too much with 1. fxe5. If Black responds 1 ... fxe5 White can then cover e4 with 2. Bd3. If Black plays 1 ... Nxe4 White can exchange knights and then play exd6.

    I think 1. Bf3 loses a pawn to 1 ... exf4 2. e5 Ng4 3. Qg1 Qc8.

    Sorry for the delayed reply - it's been a busy weekend workwise.

    I'll answer more fully in the feedback article BTM 10A
