Looks can be deceiving. ;)

It is starting to look less desperate with all these pawns.

Whoops. I had you and then made the wrong move lol.

I was hoping for that move. Opens up your pawn structure that was keeping me at bay, so I can finally start attacking your king, lol.

I spent 15 minutes decided what I wanted to do next, lol. I had quite a few tantalizing attack options, but I decided getting one of my knights involved was my preferred option.

Yeah. It was a very interesting attack you decided for and had some possibilities... but the biggest problem you had is that your forces just weren`t mobilized enough to move in on me there, and my defenses proved adequate. Whereas my ability to attack you while improving my king`s defense was significant. A very interesting sacrifice and there are times when it is appropriate, but given how much development I got while chasing your knight around and you got none, it just wasn`t worth it for you.

Ya, things are not going as well as I had hoped. Specifically, I though I would be able to put all little pressure on your king by now, and not let my disadvantage get any worse.

You keep surprising me this game lol. I had quite a few contingencies prepared here... I expected you to go with Be4 Nxe4 dxe4 gxh5 gxh5, lol.

I`m pretty sure I`ve never seen a game of chess with this weird of a setup, ahaha. Our game exists, at the moment, entirely in the B8 - H2 and C8 - H3 diagonals... nothing else matters as we`ve created this very strange corridor of attack. That may or may not change significantly depending upon your move choices here, lol.

I confess that I`m surprised that you did that. I was just trying to push your knight around, you had fair trades available. Interesting to surrender a significant material advantage early, though you did bare my king. Could be interesting how this plays out.
