  GrahamClayton: This game began 5-6 minutes late due to a presentation by FIDE Vice-President Tudela, in which both players were presented with commemorative badges fron the Venezualan Chess Federation.

Oct-13-11  AnalyzeThis: Yes, it is the main line. It does involve temporarily giving up the center, but the c8 bishop comes right out to an effective post. It puts pressure on e5 and d4 because of the threat to chop the f3 knight.
