Well, I purposely played the same opening as our first game but played it a lot slower and with a more defensive tempo.
If you look at the opening book, I dont think you should pull your Queen back to e8 after I play Nc6. You lose tempo and development, which probably hurt in the middle game and made you feel like you were chasing.
The main line is to move across Qa5, I think. Qd6 or Qe6+ (or Qe6+) also look good.
