That is also what Wedberg thought and why Wedberg recommended 10.a3 first.
  
The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Emms says it is worth expending a tempo with 9.h3 to prevent ...Bg4.  He also gives 9.h3 0-0 10.Be3!? Bb7 11.Nbd2 Re8 12.Re1 (12.a3!? could be a problem) exd4 (I don't trust 12...Rb8) 13.cxd4 Nb4 14.Bg5 Nxc2 15.Qxc2 h6 16.Bh4 g5 17.Bg3 Nh5 18.Bh2 Qf6! with the idea of ...Qg6 to follow.  Black looks okay here...

Smart team captain ....
A quick glance says me, that 8.a4 is not very dangerous.
Another line is 8.d4 Bb6 9.h3 (White does well with this move, but that does not tell us too much, as there are only a few dozen games with it) Bb7 10.Re1 0-0 11.Be3 Re8 12.Nbd2 h6 13.a3 "White has had some nice experiences from this starting-point, but the position certainly looks playable for Black." (Wedberg). He also suggests 12...exd4 13.cxd4 Nb4 here, which White can avoid by playing 10.a3 first.
Maybe 9.a4 Bg4 10.axb5 axb5 11.Rxa8 Qxa8 12.h3 Bh5 13.d5 Na7 14.Na3 c6 15.Bg5 Ricardi-Milos, Buenos Aires 2001 is White's best. "The whole variation is rather dubious for black indicated also by the Hracek's quick win over Slobodjan." (Lippstadt 2000).
I will take a closer look at this next week.
HgMan knows why.

I wanted to share the following game I found in my database this afternoon:

[Site "IECG email"]
[Date "2000.10.01"]
[White "Ruff,Sergey"]
[Black "Varallyay,Zoltan"]
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 Bc5 6.c3 b5 7.Bc2 d6 8.d4 Bb6 9.a4 Bg4 10.d5 Ne7 11.Bg5 h6 12.Bxf6 gxf6 13.axb5 axb5 14.Na3 Rg8 15.Bd3 Ng6 16.Bxb5+ Kf8 17.Kh1 Nf4 18.Bc6 f5 19.Qd2 Bxf3 20.gxf3 Qh4 21.Rg1 Qh5 22.Rxg8+ Kxg8 23.Rg1+ Kh7 24.Qd1 Nh3 25.Rg2 Rg8 26.Bd7 Rxg2 0-1

White's play seemed fairly reasonable (goes to show the importance, perhaps, of 9.h3), but he was demolished in rather quick order.  It seems as though a number of lines in the Moller yield chances for Black; can anyone point to the critical battleground here?
