1. d4 Ng8f6 2. e3 c5
Playing 2. e3 suggests a lack of ambition, so rightly or wrongly I raise the aggression level and fight immediately for the centre
3. dxc5
Releasing the tension straight away. White should prefer c4 and Nc3.
3... Nb8a6
The knight will be active on c5, and we're forcing White out of familiar positions.
4. a3 Na6xc5 5. h3
h3 and a3 feel like solutions looking for a problem...
5... e5
...d5 was possible too, but then Nf3 would delay ...e5
6. b4 Nc5e4
...Ne6 was a good alternative.
7. Bc1b2 Qd8c7 8. Bf1e2 d5 9. Ng1f3 Bf8d6 10. Nb1d2
White continues developing, but has a cramped position.
10... Bc8f5
Black completes his development. Perhaps his 12th move idea was already possible here?
11. Ra1c1
White should consider o-o.
11... Ra8c8
With ideas of capturing on c2 after moving the e4 knight.
