I thought this was a very pretty game played between me and and a computer program I own set at 2400 difficulty. The time limit was five minutes each.

it's not a trap if you set it and then fall in it yourself.

Knights are the one piece that every time an opponent moves one of theirs, I have to make sure that I'm not missing something annoying like this. I have to literally force myself to look at every square it can now reach...like when the computer went 9...Ne5 you gotta make sure that Nf3, Nd3, etc. aren't killers somehow...freaking horses and their jumping...

White is slightly better after the simple 10.Bg2.

Much better is the direct 9...Bxc3+ 10.Nxc3 Be6, when Black is fine.
