  Sneaky: I've very interested in this line, esp. with 9. ...d5. Is there a "refutation" to 9 ...d5? It seems to me that Black gets a level game. After 11 Bd3 do you think Black could even play the opening like a gambit, with ...Nxd3?

  Sneaky: Hmmm on second thought, maybe this game illustrates why Black's game is actually very difficult.
Feb-01-02  bishop: If black takes the bishop on the eleventh move,White will finish development with Bg5 and then bring his rooks into play. It seems a bit too risky.
