Presumably to get away from standard lines and force me to think, but it seem a very dubious idea, even though I have since found examples in my databse. The idea of 2.c3 is to seize the centre and this does not push ahead with that plan.

Just to make things awkward. Let's see you develop now!

Probably I should have retained the pin with Bb6.

Now I have wasted the whole opening. This is insipid and I drift without ideas. Winning was Nh3+, whether he takes the Knight and exposes his King, or moves his King to h1. This is because his queesnide pieces are still locked away while I have strong Bishops facing the King, and can quickly get out Queen and Rook. The details don't matter as much as the principle. When you have a good position you have to risk the tactical opportunities while they are there.

By now I actually messaged my opponent saying I had totally run out of ideas and was drifitng.

Maybe a cheap trick: Qxa8? Bxh2+ but no such luck. Bit late to dream up tactical traps.

A last hope - if he takes the Queen on d4 we might equalize with his Knight marooned at h6.

Nope!

I have been tied up with my own shoe laces - complicated but hopeless and now the end.
