Navigating the Sidelines of the Four Knights Game | Chess Opening

Game was played with a semi-classical time control 60 minutes + 10 seconds Delay. Delay means that clock starts going after 10 seconds. My opponent was rated little under 2000 USCF.
Four Knight Opening is a very symmetrical chess opening that is too dry for many players taste. Some choose to play it precisely for that reason, to shut down black's dynamic play. This game was decided by blunder but it also shows that things can get out of control with a single inaccuracy.

3:10 Why don't play Bf2?

Good point, I should have explained that in the video. If Bxf2, Kf2 and after Nxe5, White plays d4 and gets the control of the center. After knight moves away, White can do the artificial castle with Rf1, Kg1, and White has the advantage due to two bishops and the central control.
