 It could be wise to start from the assumption that White may be already in
serious positional trouble. His pawn structure is slightly inferior, and both
his knights have poor prospects: KN suffers because it has no access to f3 from
which it could press on e5. The other knight is probably even worse at b3.

 From this evaluation, my advice is: don't look for aggressive plans and moves.
 If, as I feel, Black has the upper hand, White has to be in guard about
possible Black aggressive plans.

 If a I was Black, I'd be happy completing my development, placing a few pieces
in their natural positions. My main doubt should be about the dark squared
bishop: my instinct brings me to put it immediately on d6 in order to prepare
for e6-e5 (opening the "e" file would be untasteful for White due to his
weakness at e3). Yet, after an eventual Bf8-d6, White could swap bishops and
immediately play f3-f4. So it coulb be better for Black to play simply his
bishop in e7, castle short and think about opening the centre only after
completing his development.

 It goes without saying that White is not lost already and, in practice, winning
with Black demmands some expertise in positional play.
