I've always been partial to recapturing this way. I think the knight is more suited for c6

Now I feel pressure against my fianchetto bishop

10...Bxh6 just forces his queen to a better square

A blind desperate attempt at gaining some initiate. In retrospect this is one place I should have looked much deeper.

I often hear players remark... you did all that just to gain a pawn? Well.... yeah... der der. If you can play a 50 ply combo and win a pawn why the hell not??

A bit tricky to keep the knight. But tricks and complications are what it's about.

?? Horrible, when 27...e5 seems to win it easily... bad Art... bad

Yeah I sorta figured my knight was toast. Chess is often about NOT QUITTING!! once you resign it's over. Hell sake man I am a decent player, I make horrible moves, well dammit so can the other person!! :)

I have three pawns for my knight, but he might be able to smash the center, attack the flank etc. but he has to also deal with my h and g pawns.
