Hello, Shos.
I seem to be available for another game in addition to my one on this subforum that still hasn't finished.
Do you want B or W?

And, yes, I know this move^ of mine might give the appearance of imaginably becoming a tiny tempo issue.
I have ideas.

I may be mistaken, I haven't played a real game in over a decade. I feel so old!
Do you have an international rating?

I have no field experience with pursuing a rating; I just am a Chess Geek.

There is a video on YouTube where a great Russian (or something) accented GM says "develop in center in one tempo your minor pieces from side which you want castle" (sic). So, I remembered that almost to a tee :) . And you have to remember something for your reserved comment; though I know not what.

What I wanted to say was that my last move was almost terrible mistake. You failed to find it, though.

After Qb6 there could be Bf6 Bf6 Nd5. Surely cxd5 is bad fpr Qc8, so Qa5+ instead, which yields Nc3 (better than b4) and if black takes Bd4 then Qe4+.

Now if Be5 then f4 is played and Bf5 dpesnt help because Qe5(f5 is Bf3 black win) so Qe5 is the thing to do.

This is preferable fpr black, but was dangerously close to not being so

[Yes that is Nh3, not Nf3]
That position you gave is something that you might be well able to play, but it seems to lead to a pawn structure for White on the queen-side that I am not comfortable with; after Qe5 where you left off I should choose Qe5 Be5 exchanging the queens [because your queen and bishop have a dangerous attack on c3] and then you might envision something like 0-0-0 or e3 as two of my best moves, but with say 0-0-0 just to pick one, there is Bxc3 bxc3 and even though my king is there to help the pawns' protection, those pawns are inferior to your pawn structure.

Yeah, that is why I said it was *almost* a mistake

By the way, I feel as if I am playing the Black side of an Exchange variation of Caro-Kann
