What to do if Bd6xNe5

[rj1000101]

In Zukem, pg.33-34 it says that if black captures the Knight on e5, "the pawn that recaptures furthers this motif indirectly by knocking the Knight from f6..."

I played a blitz game where Black played 8. ... Bxe5. After 9. dxe5, the pawn blocks Bb2 for the rest of the game. Should I redeploy it?

Here is the game. Note: though gameknot is a "correspondence" site, this game was played live in about 10 minutes each side. However flawed (14. Nd2? 14. fxg5! wins the Q-R exchange), it does have a nice Kingside attack.

Also, I would appreciate any comments on:
1. If move order was incorrect;
2. If there is a better way to take advantage of Black's 3. ...h6 than my continuing normal C-Z development.

I'll take a look at this later...but maybe in the meantime someone else can view the game on our viewer and give some pointers.
It looks like you choose an overall good plan. ...h6 weakens the attacking power of your Bishop on d6 but makes the g4 march much more formidable.

Hi rj1000101, I think you played a good game, albeit against weak opposition. Here are some thoughts on the game:

not yet played c7-c5, there is no immediate need to fianchetto the bishop (see
