An Analysis Exercise from a Club Game

   At the local club tonight, one of the players handed me the scoresheet
   from a game he played on Tuesday. I didn't look too much at the game
   as a whole, but one position grabbed my attention in a sustained way,
   and I spent 20-30 minutes analyzing it. This was the position in the
   game after White's 12th move:

   I don't recall what Black actually did, but it wasn't 12...f4. I
   haven't checked any of my analysis with the computer - and I'm not
   going to, either, until I've really spent a lot of time on it - and I
   in turn won't "contaminate" your thinking by presenting it. So chew on
   the position for a while (but no analytical comments yet, please), and
   in a few days we'll discuss it.
