Jun-12-06  manilishi: After 7..... Nd4 what about 8 Nxd4 exd4 9 c3?
Jun-13-06  borisbadenoff: I think 8. Nxd4 exd4 would be the right continuation. But 9. c3 allows black to play d3 which forces white to Qf3-Qxd3 and by that black regains a development move better is maybe 9.d3
Jun-13-06  manilishi: How does the line go after black plays d3? I have loooked at other moves here including 9.....dxc3 and even c5!? but these are pawn moves and do nothing for blacks development.

There is nothing black can do for this pawn anymore it well get lost. Or you play 9. .. c5 and after 10. cxd4 cxd4 black has a doubled pawn on the d-file and the position doesn't look all that comfortable So 9. c3 d3 10. Qf3 Be6 or Be7 and after 11. Qxd3 again Be6 Be7 depending on what you played.
