No fireworks like vipiu's but I regard this as my best to date and against a 2100 USCF player. The plan was simple - to shut out his bishops and to defend the advanced and backward pawns. The rest flowed from there. Against the principles, the knight on the rim was very influential. I heartily recommend Silman's Amateur's Mind BTW - it made a huge difference for me here.
