move with the comment that this is not a serous option for black while this
line is my prefered line for a very long time ever sicne I saw Ward annotated
a game here at Chesspub where 1 2600+ players goes for it. Now world elite
grandmaster enters this line, maybee he has seen my posts here at chesspub?}
