  Honza Cervenka: There is no need to be afraid of Nxc7. Black should have played 9...0-0! 10.Nxc7 Rb8 11.exd5 Nf5! 12.Qe2 Na5 13.Nd2 Qd8 14.d6 (the only way to save the piece, of course 14.Nb5 is not an option for 14...Re8 15.Ne4 a6 16.Na3 Nd6 17.f3 f5 etc.) 14...Nxd6 15.Nd5 Be6 with more than sufficient compensation for a Pawn. 9...Qe5? loses by force as Tarrasch demonstrated in the game.
