OK, but White should play 9 Qe2. 9 Bd3 is both rare and interesting (I've also used it as White), but allows Black the option of 9...Bg4 as well as 9...Bg7 which should transpose to the fashionable 7 e4 a6 8 h3! b5 lines. Wu actually played very well, but then missed his chance on move 22 after which d6 dropped.

This line is recommended by Richard Palliser in "Play 1.d4!" and is very difficult to face.  To see how he fares when faced with his own recommendations, here is a recent game with Richard playing Black  Wink

If sometimes we fly too close to the sun, at least this shows we are spreading our wings.
