It's 7. O-O for white, so not that similar anymore. The tactics are different in that line. | ||

It would take both of them to have a prep in the line and both of them think they have something to fight for there. Real top level chess goes by different edges. I love Svidler, but this probably wasn't his zomgtrashingtactical opening. And 8... O-O was the book move there. I think I looked at that variation down the line. At least I checked a lot of lines with exd6, dxc7. I'm not sure that game will go too well for black. Of course he is an hour up. Still... | ||

All white has to do is to set the pawns correctly. Even a pawnchain like a2-b3-c3 and f3-g2-h2 is good if you get to play Qc2, Nd2, Bf2. Now what does black do. If exchange white has a better position, but all of a sudden the only piece he can better is his queen, and frankly there's no good square for the lady right now... What, Qb7/Qa6 to connect the rooks? White is just better and should the time control come it could be a long skinning game. That's after: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Bc5 4. c3 Nf6 5. d4 exd4 6. e5 Ne4 7. O-O d5 8. exd6 Nxd6 9. Re1+ Be6 10. Bg5 Qc8 11. Bxc6+ bxc6 12. Nxd4 Bxd4 13. Qxd4 O-O 14. Nd2 | ||

There's an awesome trap with 14... Qa6 15. Ne4 Qb6 16. Qd2 Nc4 to grab the pawn and then... 17. Qf4 black can pretty much resign due to the Nf6 mating threat. | ||

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. If we think it's impossible to win a pawn or superior position from Ng5, what's the point of playing the game? By the way, great name Sisyphus, and welcome to TL | ||

I've said in a few posts that if it comes to that, I think + Show Spoiler +Right some posts are about the game from yesterday, and some are about how we are going to end up drawn because of bishops... we should play 11. Bxd2, rather than 11. Nxd2, so as not to reduce the minor pieces on the board to a pair of opposite-colored Bishops. | ||
