crushing} Nf6 8. Nc3 O-O 9. Qe2 h6 10. Rd1 Qc7 {Losing the e-pawn. d6 hoping
for Bg4 and Nd4} 11. Nd5 Nxd5 12. exd5 b5 13. dxc6 bxc4 14. Qxc4 {Fritz likes
cd and then take the e-pawn or just take the e-pawn now. I'm happy with the
line I chose though Fritz shows a slight plus for Black for several moves.} d6
{Black protects the e-pawn since White's c-pawn will fall anyway.} 15. b3 Be6

has the advantage again.} 28. h3 h5 {Black persists in playing on the wrong
