yes, but-you block the d pawn from moving. Bishop's best position is not in front of e-d pawns.If I find some time today I will scan an useful diagram showing the main idea of fighting for the center. Also IMO queen move is not good enough. We should consider developing our light pieces before powerful ones. Back to castling-as Skybird said-0-0 is more safer than 0-0-0 BUT are you sure you want to move your king toward white queen on that flank?!
