against the c-pawn} 10. e3 h6 11. Bxf6 Nxf6 12. Rb1 Ne4 $2 { Black sets to
work too hastily. he should have guarded his e5 by ... Bd6} ( 12... Bd6) 13.
Ne5 Bd6 14. f4 {The big difference between the two Knights at their respective
strong points on the e-file is that White can take the Black Knight whenever
