But we'll see.

This is the only way I can get my queen out.

So I've got to start moving some pieces to the kingside and break the center chain of pawns.

How I keep talking about business, I don't know yet, but there are certain aspects in business that get clustered and stuck, and you have to make a change, whether that's a personnel change, a model change, maybe you overstocked on certain SKUs.

All right, so now this is going to start to get interesting because now the bishop is the only piece guarding that d4 pawn, and it's very weak.

and I think I can get away with pushing the F pawn now and beginning my assault.

The only downside is Bishop takes Knight is a little tricky.

Only thing I don't like.

But I think I can get away with it.

Okay.

I think that's an auto-take on my part.

Nowhere to move the knight, really.

I mean, I could move the knight up to h4 and put some... Nah, that seems like a bad idea.

He's still got two attacking it, or two protecting the f-pawn.

I think it's an auto-take here.

He might go for a knight outpost, but my light-colored bishop was so weak that I think I'm okay with that.

I could trade, be happy with it.

The only downside is he'll have his bishop on f5, and I don't have an answer to that at all.

And that's going to be problematic for the rook at c8.

So I don't think I can take the knight.
