While I am not afraid of Knights, I must admit a few bad experiences with them. I remember a key game of some championship when a enemy knight forked my two rooks. Very embarrassing mistake to allow them to do. One move combination are foreseeable ! Did not happen often but did happen.

Good move Carolus. This one has got me thinking too much.
It is?
It has? Good!

Not all all. When I played against Smash I was loaded with work and played really slow. No problem.

Sounds dramatic! Is this position really that critical to you? I think you have several good moves... To be honest, I think I'm the one under pressure here... Will be interesting to hear about it after the game...

Is that an angry face in your post above?! I take it you are not satisfied with the game? I fail to see why you shouldn't be, though...
Edited: Not sure the last line is correct. What I mean is I don't understand why you are not satisfied with it.

Carolus, I don’t mean that my position is critical. You are right, this is simply a game to play with chances for either side.
I had once the luck to listen to a course given by GMI Dorfman, who trained Kasparov and more recently the French prodigy Bacrot and he explained that a key to success was to recognize critical moments, that is to know when to think and when to play fast. It occurs to me that at my 14th I have a lot of choices and need to think deep to make strong decisions because a mistake at this critical moment could easily cost me the game.
All that being told, my move is the 1st I had thought of !

You attended a course given by a grandmaster? In a critical moment of the game the first move that came to your mind was the one you finally played after deep thinking about the alternatives?
These two statements give you the victory in the psychological war! I have nothing whatsoever to top them with... Please accept my unconditional surrender...
Now, if I only can win the game itself...

At least this one was a no-brainer !
As for the psychological warfare, well … Over the board one should treasure more the ability to make good and quick decisions than to take hours to convice oneself to follow his intuition. But that 14th move was definitely a stage of the game when some thinking was required.
