  tpstar: When White plays f4, Black should answer ... f6 & ... Ne7 & ... Ng6 to hinder e4-e5. When White plays f3, Black should answer ... Nf6 & ... Bd6 & ... Rhe8. Either way, Black needs to reorganize pieces, but that depends on 0-0 or 0-0-0.

Aug-27-05  Giancarlo: Thanks for the Game <Tpstar>

9.0-0 is intresting, the model continuation is 0-0-0, however, I wouldn't think the alternative is that bad. I've also seen white put the bishop on b2 in some games.

13..c5 is dangerous, further immobilizing the QS majority.

I didn't like whites play in this game. I thought he deviated from the tactical package that white should take. The worst thing that I have also experienced in this opening, although I'm still putting it into practise, is to let Black get counterplay on the QS.
