that's really why I think white is losing. That knight is a horrible piece.

Not at all. c4, d5, f5, and g4 are are useful to look at from e3.
Now getting there might be a dream, but say we can just pick him up and put him there, he'd be fine.

Hey yeah, I didn't like Qe2, but I didn't even consider Qd2. I think that's a reasonable idea for white to look at (the Qd2 Nd1 thing).
Maybe even c4 Na4-c3
That what I feel like would be the biggest problem. In analysis we might find out white is ok, but this would be hard (at least for me) to play well OTB.

I usually spend most of my time looking for ways to attack and now I see that there is something to be said for just slowly improving a position. Thanks Leiph! :)

Oh, to me the purpose of Nc4 is OH SWEET JESUS MY B2 KNIGHT IS FKING TERRIBLE and c4 gives it access to d2 and e3.
