JMMREVIEW www.chess.com/echess/game?id=125847226Things are quite equal at this point, though white has a slight space advantage and black has an isolated h pawn. White's kingside knight is in a slightly annoying pin. If white's queen moves away, the bishop can trade itself with the knight, giving white a doubled pawn weakness. But the black bishop decides to exchange itself with the white knight while its queen is still watching over it. The result is that black has given up 2 (bishop) moves and the half pawn advantage of a bishop pair in order to help white develop his queen. Black tries to eventually overwhelm the defenses of white's queenside knight starting with Bf6. This however makes the black bishop more vulnerable and pins black's kingside knight to its defense. Black's knights should have been developed instead. Getting all of one's pieces developed and one's king castled is usually the first priority of any game. Black carries on with his plan but misses threats against him. Black missed an opportunity here to set up a mate threat to win back a pawn with 17.. Nxc4 18. Qxc4 Nxf5 Overall black would do much better by developing all of his minor pieces before considering an attack and by avoiding losing his bishop pair for no good reason.
