I know when my man of the cloth is no longer welcome. Time for a retreat...

8. Be3

I am having the horrid feeling as white, that I am behind a tempo. Or at least half a tempo. I want to castle, but I think this move has to come first to avoid trouble in the near future. d4 is becoming hot real estate. My initial extension of Bg5 was done thinking I would just force an exchange on the f6 square. Your Nd7 dealt with that threat quickly. I also decided that allowing you to easily open up the e file to your rook, even if this meant doubling up your pawns, would actually hurt me in the near future. But it is forcing me to play catch-up a little bit...
