On p. 237, last paragraph, it mentions 13...Ngf6 14. Bh6 Bf8. I looked at this line, and it seems to me that there is nothing wrong with this line for Black, or am I missing something? Instead of 13...h5! (the ! being Hellsten's annotation), the option of simply developing the knight and then offering a trade of the dark-squared bishops seems fine for Black, since the latter would be a goal for Black anyway. I would rather play this line (13...Ngf6) for Black instead of White.
This is the position discussed
13...h5 is indeed the recommendation of Hellsten in his book, but I also see no major problems for black after 13...Ngf6!?
Sjugirov (2412)-Caruana (2421) 1-0, 200613...Ngf6 14.Bh6 Bf8 15.Qd2 Bxh6 16.Qxh6 Rg8 17.f4 0-0-0
as in most variations of the Kan black is a little cramped and although he has no real weaknesses, the white position seems more straight forward to play
Popilsky (2372) - Lopez Martinez (2531) ˝-˝, 200813...Ngf6 14.Bh6 Ne5!? (also mentioned in Hellsten's book) 15.h3 b5! 16.f4 Nh5!? (16...Nc4 is unclear according to Shavtvaladze)
The position after 14...Ne5!? is still very rich and very much untouched territory. Is this because it's bad for black?
