I think his point was that Na2 / c3 / b4 was the _wrong_ plan.  White
is castled over there, not black.  Why "self-attack" yourself and make
it easier for black to open lines to your king?

For simple suggestions, you could "pass" and play Nc6, retreating back to
d4 after the queen moves.  Or you could try e5.  But something tells me to
not advance in front of my king when my opponent's king is not on that
side of the board.

Was your score saying you were losing there?  Mine's not convincing for either
side at that point (move 20 for white).
