8... Nf6 |
In the previous games in this line f6 has been played instead of Nf6, but it seems to me to be the natural square to put the knight. Fritz prefers f6. | ||||||

9. Qc2 |
And now I sank into deep thought. What to do about the attack on the bishop? I looked at Bd6 and 10. Qxc6+ Bd7, and white has his queen and bishop attacked, but white has got 11. Qc3 and the bishop is protected. I didn't like the look of Qe7 10. Bxc7. I didn't like the look of Nd7 11. Bxg7 Rg1 12. Qxh7. Afterwards Fritz give Nd7 as best and Bxg7 is met by Qg5! | ||||||
