Yeah, I was waiting for that, it might have turned the game around. Dead even after 13 games, 6 wins, 6 loses, one draw.
Anyway, in response to N-e4, I have to go B-e5 and when his king goes after my pawns, my plan was to inch my king out to attack his knight forcing it to move and then getting the g and h pawns like in the game. Don't know if it would have worked but that was my plan.
I was a bit surprised he went 31 Be3, allowing me to snag the B for my N.
I would have gone to d2 or f4 to avoid that, probably d2.
It left me with the fianchetto bishop of my own.
