It adds pressure on White's queen (the knight at f6 can now move) and allows black to castle soon, getting a rook in play.

Hmmmm.....
After much consideration I have decided that I like that move
In this way, black can further the goal of eliminating white's bastion in the center, and the white queen remains at bay. White's knight at g1 vexxes me, however. Should I castle and move my f6 knight to press an attack on the center, he is in a position to support an attack by the white queen on h7. Potentially only 3 moves away in fact, after white moves his queen to h5 to evade my bishop. Admittedly a vague fear, but my main concern is that such a ploy by white will interfere with black's advance and possibly reverse the situation. As such, I'm not liking the idea of castling at the moment, but have not ruled it out.
Other than that, good show Rick! Thanks to the suggestions of people like you (and sky, of course) I get a little closer each day to my ultimate goal of being able to start the thread :
UnderseaLcpl vs. Skybird.
Bf8-e7, then?
