6:30 I like your original plan. I don't think white's playing Rb4 is a great hindrance to your plan, as NB3 will severely limit the rook's movement. White's rook will then fall to Kb6 followed by Nc6. Moreover, white will be have a hard time defending the bishop on e1 after Re2, as the rook could no longer come back to defend it.
I may be missing something; I don't have a chess program to see if I'm correct.
@ebutym11225 Thats a cool idea, I had stockfish analyze the position and interestingly it at first liked N5c6 until I played Nb3 to see what it "thought" and from then on it liked Nb3 alot more. Good eye!
deal with (continuing from first comment.). I guess to sum up what I want to say about middle game thinking, don't think so much in terms of what's a good move here, rather think in terms of what should your objective(s) be and where do I want to get my pieces in order to achieve it/them.
I kept saying objective, but very often there are multiple objectives in a plan, or multiple objectives that you can choose from in deciding on your plan. Developing your pieces quickly and to descent squares while looking for tactics would be a plan but not a very specific one, it won't cut it with stronger players. It can be good to think in terms of Steinitz's idea of accumulation of advantages, and try and figure out what advantage you should aim to attain or disadvantage you should aim to
