Current Position (Black to Move)
I may be wrong, but his e4 may have been premature.
He's trying to call the shots, but his problems are back. (We have problems, too.)
Now, if we can only capitalize…
Going forward, for our next move, we have one of four moves available.
They are all Knight moves: Nf6, Nf4, Nb6, or Ne7. (make a good chess song title 
)
Just a few interesting notes:
Nf6 is good. The center will still be in tension. If he tries to drive us off we can return to d5. If he let's us stay and plays d5, giving his c1 Bishop dominance of the diagonal, we are protected by the g7 pawn and the f8 Drunken Bishop.
Nf4 is good. If Black plays g3, he loses his c1 Bishop. If he plays Qd2, then he hurts us in that we have to defend the Knight or move it yet again. Maybe not so good.
Nb6 hurts us. Our Drunken Bishop is further hamstrung because we cannot get the DB to b7 which would open it up for counter play.
Ne7 is good, but we are really back on our heels. However, I've played many games where one move you're back on your heels, and a move or two later and the piece is better placed than ever before.
Really looking forward to finally getting our a6 DB to b7. Then Martin will be rueing the day he launched that e4 pawn, exposing his back rank prematurely.
With these Drunken Bishops, it seems the action on the board is just off center.
Very odd.
Our moves:
Nf4: I see this move somewhat bad after g3 and our knight need to go back (Nh3 can't be good after Bg2) and White can do good move such as Nc4.
Nf6: After this move, White can just defend pawn or move e5!
Nb6: I think this move is best: Black can move f5/f6 later and we don't have big problems.
Ne7: White has good position.
Ke7: White is better after Nc4 Nb6 and then Nfd2 or other move.

After Nb6, we can activize DB to c6 via b5. Moreover, we can exchange WSDB-s!
Nd3+ is bad: Kxd3!

… Nf4, g3, and we play Ne3: attacking the Queen and the Drunken Bishop which is worth 4 compared to the Knight's 3. Drunken Bishop falls.
ivan, this is the first time I'm seeing you comment here, so I don't know how deeply you're looking at things. For example, our DB at a6 right now is horribly placed. If you put a Knight above that pawn adjacent to it, the b7 pawn, then it will be a Long Day's Journey into Night before we ever release the Drunken Bishop's true potential at b7.
ivan one more thing. On this analysis board, we adopted the policy of switching the Queen and King so that it would be easier to make sense of the board. If you'll notice, our board looks different from Martin's board.
Oh... Then we can after Nf4 move Qe3!
I vote Nb6!
If you play Bc6, the other Knight will take it when it moves Ne5.
On Ne5 f6!

Yes, but Martin will only play Ne5 if the DB is at c6. So, f6, and Nxc6.
Hmm... Move f6 before DBc6!
ry, we're in no rush to make this move. Let others have a look, too. (You're doing great, btw.)
We have some powerful players involved in this game, and more seem to be joining every day.
Yeah...
One last thing...
I'm hoping that Martin has not adopted the policy of reversing his Queens and Kings, like we have, so that he is layered with one more level of confusion. For us, it is like that Event (Kings and Queens switch) never happened. But he may not have thought of displaying his board the way we do.
He says he never will look at this thread (the World Analysis thread) and I believe him.
What about Bf6? ed5 Bxa3 is rather good for us (we win an exchange) and after Nc4, Nf4 is stronger (threat: Nd3 followed by Nxc1; the Bf6 covers the N at c1.) If
Yup.
