Are you joking? How is a blunder like that going to help?
Op, you can also insert h6 before the moves I mentioned.
i would suggest-h6
There are a few ways to continue for black from the diagram position but one of the most common is for black to play ... Re8 followed by Ne4 , another possibility is ... Nh5 and trading the dark squared bishops .... Ng4 fails to do this because white can play Bf4 , keeping the bishops on and the N/g4 will be misplaced and lose time later ...
NM Reb, what are your thoughts on the plan I suggested? b7-b6, Bb7 and c6-c5. Activates the light squared bishop and fights for central space.

This plan is slow but has been played in more than a dozen games with white doing very well after 3 different moves : 0-0 , Qc2 , and Qb3
black can also play ...Ne4 right away in the diagram position , I think the R/c1 is misplaced and belongs on a1 or b1 , instead of putting the R on c1 white should have played Qc2 , a much more useful move ...

I meant Nh4, not Ng4 (hilarious !)
We both meant Nh5 Lola !

Nothing wrong with it , its certainly an option for black as well . I am just always very hesitant to move pawns near my king unless forced to ...
There's a new video series on these types of posititons, BTW. Pony up some membership dues and take a gander.
Or, to translate into English, pay for a membership and watch the video.

....and you're right NM Reb.
Having my white-squared black Knight out on the open flats like that (w/ Ng4) is probably kinda dumb.
....and BTW, I don't play 1755. I play like 1450 (for 14.50 years !). A man let me win him in a snail mail game once and that got me this balloon #.
