11. Bd3 is the "Crossroads Move". I shall need to consider this position quite carefully.

4. ... Ne7 was a move I wasn't necessarily expecting. I usually see 4. ... c5 5. ... cxd4 which is different, with the castled king and all. Other than that, all your moves have been quite easy to find at your end (so I think) and anticipate at my end. I invested time comparing rather lengthy lines after 8. f4 and 8. dxc5, while I've played dxc5 before, it lead to some tactical complication and general plodding around. I thought it best to make the moves you know you have to make and stick with f4 instead, which turned up slightly better.
For 10. 0-0-0 I was considering 4 moves that were all equally tempting, while not best in my usual sense of technical correctness, it offers me one itty-bitty plus that may or may not come into play later; the idea for which I got from other openings. Deciding to play 11. Bd3 took me about 10 seconds so I took some extra time to work on some ideas to use later on.
EDIT:
Exactly. Now here's my reason for 10. 0-0-0
1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e5 Ne7 5. Bd2 c5 6. Nb5 Bxd2 7. Qxd2 0-0 8. f4 a6 9. Nd6 cxd4 10. 0-0-0 Nbc6 11. Bd3 f6 12. Qe1

Ne7 was as a result of my "Normal" aversion to it. I feel exposed on the castled King's position. I spoke with a friend,  who recommended that I play it, Because I am uncomfortable with it. So for the last few weeks I have been experimenting with it online, and with my trusty AI trainer.
Thought it was sharp, so a good game for anyone watching...
