I have achieved what I consider to be a strong opening. Not sure where I'm going from here. I have a number of possiblaties. I'll probably have to take the Pawn, or else the Knight will have a backed up advance. I'm taking a few days to consider my next move. Any ideas on the predicament would be welcolmed.

After much consideration the best option appers to be to take the pawn. Not taking it would probably have resulted in the pawn taking mine and threatening my knight from a protected square as well as boxing in the queen and castle. I had hoped to find a better move than that, but them's the breaks. :)
