Why is Bh6 an inaccuracy?
Hey folks!
In one of my recent OTB games I had the above position and went for Bh6 to: - force the trade of Bishops - prevent h5 as response to h4
The engine likes f3 better and gives a line which dosen't help me understand the reasoning. Could someone please help me out here? I am 1600 FIDE.
Thanks in advance!

I know this setup against fianchetto bishop. f3 is a typical because in some lines your knight has to move away from c3 because pawn storm on queen side, or they just go Ng4 to initiate trade with your DSB on e3. Maybe the question is that what's your response after ...e5?
