Recently I've been looking at a game and this position arose after 7 moves. What I don't understand is, why was Bb3 played (moving the bishop twice) and then why did black play Na5? Also, after all is said and done, why didn't black play Nxb3?
That looks like Fischer-Reshevsky. 11... Kxe6 leads to 12. Qd5+ Kf5 13. g4 Kxg4 14. Rg1+, with mate following. The most complicated line ends in 14... Kh3 Rg3+ 15. Kh4 Qe4+ 16. Kh5 Qg4#.
The game continued 12... Nc6 13. Qd2 Bxe5 14. O-O, with Fischer eventually winning on move 42.

Why did he play Ne8?
