6. ...Qh5!? - is it no viable option?

I think Qh5 is worth looking at - maybe with the idea 7.Be3 Nh6!? - but perhaps we should start a new thread?

Agreed, this thread is strictly concerned with the lines arising after 10...c5. Although I can fully appreciate Gawgaw's desire to move away from these positions, indeed any Scandanavian practitioner would, as playing for two results, i.e. loss or draw is hardly an inspiring task.

As promised the position after 10...c5 11. 0-0 Rxd4 12. Qa4! will be next up on the agenda, unless someone provides something more compelling in the meantime.

Till then God speed.

Black may try 10...c5 11.0-0 h5!? (11...Rxd4 12.Qa4 =; 11...cxd4 12.c5!; 11...Nf6 12.Qa4 =; 11...Nh6 12.Qc2 cxd4 13.c5), e.g. 12.Bf3 (12.Nd2 Rxd4 13.Qe1 Qb6!) 12...Qa6 13.Nc3 (13.Nd2 Rxd4 14.Qe2 e6 15.Nb3 Rd7 16.Rad1 Nf6) 13...cxd4 14.Nb5 e5 15.Qe2 (15.Rc1) comp. But once more White has 12.Qa4 cxd4 13.Qxa7 to force a draw: 13...Qxe2 14.Qa8+ Kc7 15.Qa5+ Kd7 16.Qa4+ when 16...Ke6?! 17.Nc3 would be risky.
