Bit unusual response, did not think much of it then but seems to have been a move to get my opponent's bishop out.

A horse out early can proof to be a headache for your opponent

There comes the bishop, but my horse is covered.

Here I decided to take full advantage of the absence of his pawns in the middle field. I stepped right into his bishops line of fire but my queen is covering the pawn.

! His horse out. It is a mistake because my pawn on e4 will attack him there.
4. g4
I decided to wait before I attack and have the cheek to step right into his knight's reach. Obviously I made sure that the pawn is covered. Notice how closed up black is while white open.
4... h6
? Here black confused me. Why move his pawn to h6 and not h7??
5. e5
!! Now his knight is trapped.

Very happy to force him back . But maybe he should have rather moved his knight to h7
