Correct moves are e6 or c6 or dc.} 3. Nc3 c6 4. Bf4 Bf5 5. g3 {Fritz says this lets Black take and keep the pawn on c4. White should choose between Qb3 and e3. The same moves are best next move and the move after.} h6 {Fritz likes dc4 or Qb6.} 6. Bg2 e6 7. Nf3 Bb4 8. O-O O-O 9. Bd2 Nbd7 10. cxd5 cxd5 11. Ne5 {Qb3 is still the best move. This allows Black to double White’s pawns with no compensation.} Bxc3 {Okay, there’s White’s compensation. Why trade a bishop for a knight} 12. Bxc3 Nxe5 13. dxe5 Ne4 14. Bb4 Re8 15.

Kh2 Qa6 {Fritz prefers Qe1 looking for a perpetual check or Ra8 with mate threats.} 32. Kg3 Rc6 33. Bf1 Rec8 {Ouch! That loses a whole rook. Fritz prefers Qa1 or Ra8} 34. Bxb5 Qa1 35.
