Analysis: You move your bishop to f8, which moves it to safety. White counters with rook to b3, which threatens your queen. Your bishop takes knight, which forks White's rook and White's queen. White counters with pawn takes bishop, which protects White's queen and White's rook and creates a passed pawn on d5. You move your queen to d4, which moves it to safety and attacks White's pawn at f2. White counters by moving the king to g1, which removes the threat on White's pawn at f2. You move your pawn to a4, which attacks White's rook and pushes the passed pawn. White answers with rook to b8, which moves it to safety and pins your bishop. You move your pawn to a3, which advances the passed pawn. As a result of this line of play, you win a knight for a bishop. In addition, the development of your pawns is somewhat improved.
