 So Ithought Id show you all, what I consider my finest mate. Shows how powerful a well placed knight is. Im a newbie and the game isnt anything amazing but maybe someone will learn something.

Nicely done.

Hey, just so you know, when you're playing the french and white castles queenside, attack the base pawn in the center.  7 ... Nc6 should probably have been 7 ... c5 followed by Nc6 and Qb6.  That pressures the center very well, but the queen also assaults b2, so moves like Ba3 have some bite (gives queen access to back rank).  Imagine the queen on b6 coming to b2 with the help of a knight on c4.
