Well, Dom thanks for your input. I think Black is fine after 3.Nc3 Nc6. I did notice that White can go for an exchange structure, but then that appears to be small victory for Black - and where the Knight on c6 can't be badly placed. Actually, I've always been of the opinion that Nd2 is a tougher nut to crack than Nc3.

@gengisclown: thanks for game 

Yes, nice performance for Natalia Zhukova WGM rated 2462. Here is web page official page which portrays some players and Josep Manuel Lopez Martinez and Natalia Zhukova being one of them: http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.com/gib2010/publicity_eng/competitors.html

About opening, it's good to see that learning classic games will pay  . Start is "Rozentalis's variation" with 4...Nc6 (name given by Neil McDonald...but line played by various top players: Nimzowich, Korchnoi vs Tal and Petrosian vs Fischer). 6.Bd3!? is an unsound tricky gambit  (dixit Watson after 6...Bb4 7.oo!?) ...After 6...Bb4 position is in game Klovans-Rozentalis,Bern 1992  7.Bd2 Nxd2! (7...Nxc3 Krivoborodov-Graf,Athenes 2007 (chesspublishing udate february2008)) 8.Qxd2 is classical position Blackburne-Mason,NewYork 1889

8...Bd7!? (8...f6!) 9.oo?! (9.a3 Ba5!? 10.b4 Bb6 11.Ne2 f6 12.exf6!?  ; for 12.b5 see Vovsk-Timoshenko,Tashkent 2008 (chesspublishing update avril 2008))

I don't like too much White plan and prefer 6.a3 (to have bishops pair for compensation to double pawns which will appear soon ; forbid Bb4) Be7 7.Bd3 Nxc3 8.bxc3 Na5 9.Nd2

Longtime ago, castlerock proposes in French forum the retreat variation  6.Nb1 !?!  which in fact (maybe by another move order or color reversed) gives variation from Bralavsky-Limbourg,Hagen 1999 (Watson)
