... Hmmmmm. Not sure what to make of that. Certainly not what I wanted to hear but then the move does have some motivation. It hits d4, it prevents the a4, Ba3...

Tom, I'm no expert. Perhaps your strength or a bit less. The game looked pretty good to me. I was just wondering why you didn't play 11....cxd4? Perhaps...
