	9 votes for 5...Bg4 - a bit over the top? I dont like having no winning chances as Black - what do these people have in mind - the usual ...h5 stuff? If so Whites choice is pleasant - or Korchnois ..Bxf3!? Perhaps more interesting but not to everyones taste - or are there some gambiteers out there who will boldly retreat ...Bh5?!

	yes I had noticed the Short game - interesting that he switched to ...Bd6 instead of his normal ...f6 line. The ...Bd6 line has always been a bit of an English specialty, which doesnt seem to have attracted much attention elsewhere.

	Keano- You'll be pleased to note that Nigel Short won his last round game v Ganguly with Bd6 . Other regular Bd6 players are Mark Hebden and David Howell. All the best Andrew

	A bit surprised no votes for 5...Bd6 yet!?? I know 5...Qf6 has been talked up by various people, but basically that just leads to a position every exchange Lopez player will be happy with (I reserve the right to say there is more to it, but for now I cannot see it)
