It reached your topic position by transposition. I agree with your assertion in another post that beating inferior openings is very important for low-level players like myself.<br /><br />In this post I think you overlooked a couple of responses by White in the line 7.Neg5+ Kg8 8.Qe2. After 12...Qg5, the move 13.Kf1 seemed like an obvious way to stop the queen from invading, and indeed my engines tell me that move and even 13.c3 are better than 13.Ne2 which you analyze. White is still in a bad way but it isn't as easy as in the line given.<br /><br />This series is a great concept and I look forward to more of your articles.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359122377275564586noreply@blogger.com
