Before 10...Ng8, the black-squared bishop is bad (and maybe it wants to play f5). By 14...exf4 that black-squared bishop is IN your kingside. But here is why I posted: a nice coincidence. I was watching the awesome JRLOK (human) playing scrappy the other day, and while I only watched two games, JRLOK won the second one. By about move 15, scrappy had a bad bishop on the queenside. It would have taken about three moves to move it to the kingside, but scrappy never did, and lost because of it, clearly. In the game you posted, Gambit Tiger's bishop went from g8 (bad) to g3 (good) in three moves. I think the game you posted is a plus to Gambit Tiger.
