If I would go for that knight, there wouldn't be such strategical superiority in casle vs no casle, and I wouldn't reazlie that strategical idea
Btw how would You play in a moment when he could take My pawn with queen?

Is that a character from the Harry Potter books? Anyway ...
[Event "rated blitz game"] [Site "https://lichess.org/game/wObEzwV0"] [Date "2026.10.25"] [Black "mndoubleu"] [Variant "Standard"] [TimeControl "180+2"] [Annotator "lichess.org"] 11 h5 (~0.8 —> ~0.4)
The machine DOES seem to prefer 11 Nxd7, but it’s not like it thinks 11 h5 was horrible or anything, and it does seem as though 11 h5 worked out pretty well for you. Perhaps, it is worthwhile to consider what you would have done after 11 h5 h6 12 g4 Nxe5.
As for what I would have done after 19...f5 - probably go hide in the coral somewhere.

A nice example of attack. The maneuver Ba6 for Black is known from grandmaster games in which
White played c4, but it this game the diagonals f1-a6 and a4-e8 were open and White could have won
a piece after 8. Bxa6 Nxa6 9. Qa4+.
