Diagram # At this point I had used something like 18 min vs. 1 min. for my

(read: plan) of how to try making headway.  Let/^s start by looking at what
might be weak in black/^s position.      With all  his center pawns fixed on
dark squares it looks like black/^s center light squares might be a weakness. 
It is difficult for black to defend either of those fixed center pawns with
more than 1 minor piece.     Combining these two ideas we can see that knights
might be used to pile pressure on the black center pawns.  A quick inspection
of the position shows that this might be a good idea since:    Repositioning
the king knight will offer a desireable light square bishop trade.  Note that
Black/^s light squared bishop is (+)good[+] and White/^s is a (+)bad piece[+]
which is in the way on the half open e-file.   Repositioning the king knight
may also (eventually) allow the highly desirable f4 pawn push piling still
more pressure on the black center pawns.      It is worth noting thatexecuting 
such a plan doesn/^t ignore black/^s ideas for counterplay either.  White/^s
d-pawn looks vulnerable however it isn/^t easy for black to quickly put any
significant minor piece pressure on it.  Black would also really like to,
after castling, find a way to gain space by playing f5.  Fortunately that play
is slow and may further weaken the very pawns and squares that white is
pressuring.} 9... Bxe2 10. Qxe2 O-O 11. Nc4 {Diagram #} 11... Ne8 $2 {
