Yes thats annoying. I like to get Q-e1 then N-e5 and maybe pawn storm queen side as a feint. Usually dont like opening my king when opponents pieces are in that area. I noticed your eval bar dropped when you did N-e5 instead of continuing your attack on the bishop.

I think you handled it well in the opening and got into a fine position. The only change I would make would be to play c3 instead of a3 since they both stop Nb4 but with c3 you get added support on d4 and it let’s out your queen.

Ty for your feedback !
