9.Nc2 is passive (and I play it next move anyway). I think 9.Nxc6 is better.
11.b3 is good. Could be useful to then play Bb2, and Black isn't in a position to exploit the open a1-h8 diagonal, yet... Black's best move would probably then be Qa5, but then White plays Bb2 and is okay.
13.Bg5 is possible, I lose the c4 pawn to 13...Nxc4, but that's actually not that bad. It does connect the Rooks and develop the Bishop. I like that idea, followed by 14.e4.
21.Nc2 runs into 21...Bxe4 and the Bishop pinning the Knight is quite annoying (analysis goes from -2.05 to -3.50).
Hey guys, here's a game from a few weeks ago with Ken. The English is pretty tricky to play...
