| kenilworthian: 5.Bc4 is a real challenge to the Bird. Now the normal 5...Bc5? loses to 6.Bxf7+! And the current game points up the problem with 5...Nf6. So what to do? Black should play 5...h5 to prevent Qh5 and then try to continue with Bc5 etc. Also possible is 5...g6. |

| kenilworthian: Yes, it is very much like a "reversed Noteboom" and very interesting. It reminded me of David Rudel's book on what he called the Koltanowski Phoenix Attack, where he recommended a reversed Meran Semi-Slav, along the lines that Colle himself once played it (apparently inspired ... |

| |
| kenilworthian: This is a great illustration of why 3.d4 poses Black no problems. I like Black's attack -- especially the sham queen sac: if 21.Bxd6? Bh3+ 22.Kg1 Nxd1+ 23.Kh1 Nf2+ 24.Kg1 cxd6 wins. |
