give me money back (joking)  Grin

chapter is chapter 14 about Guimard variation
game is Tiviakov-Vysochin,Cairo 2002
and at end of page 300, we can read "We will look at 9 Bd3 in the analytical section"..but true, not covered, only note page 308 and 318

yes one update on chesspub was about it: Malakhov-Zhang Zong,Ergun 2006 (chesspublishing july 2006)

my recorded variations for 9.Bd3 are:

A) 9...b6 10.oo (10.Bd2 c5! 11.dxc5 Nxc5 12.Nxc5 bxc5 13.b3 Nc6 14.oo oo 15.Re1 Nb4 16.Bb5 Ba6 17.c4 Bb7 18.Bc3 Qb6 19.Qe2 Rad8 20.Red1 h6 21.Ne1 Nc6 22.cxd5 exd5 23.Nd3 Nb4 24.Nf4 Bg5 25.e6 Qd6 26.Bxb4 cxb4 27.exf7+ Rxf7 28.Ne6 Rc8 29.Nxg5 hxg5 30.Rd3 Re7 31.Qh5 Qh6 32.Qf3 Qf6 33.Rad1 Rc2 34.h4 Re4 35.Qg3 Qe5 36.Rf3 Qxg3 37.Rxg3 Re5 38.Rd4 Bc8 39.Rf3 Bf5 40.Rg3 Be6 41.Be8 g4 42.hxg4 Re1+ 43.Kh2 Rxf2 44.Bc6 Re5 45.Rgd3 Rb2 46.Kg3 Kf7 47.Bxd5 Bxd5 48.Rxd5 Rxd5 49.Rxd5 Rxb3+ ... Malakhov-Zhang Zong,Ergun 2006 ; 10.c4 Bb7 (or 10...dxc4 11.Bxc4 Bb4+ 12.Bd2 oo=) 11.oo dxc4 12.Bxc4 oo 13.Bd3 Nc6 14.Be4 f5 15.exf6 Nxf6 16.Bd3 Qd5 =+)  h6!? (or 10...Bb7 11.c3 c5= or 11.c4 dxc4 transposes to previous line) and then 11.c4 Bb7= or 11.Bf4 c5! (11...oo 12.c3 c5 13.Bb1 and White has an attack if Black close now center with c4 or play 13..Nc6 14.Qc2) 

B) 9...c5 10.dxc5 Nc6= or  10Nxc5 Nxc5 11.dxc5 Bxc5 12.oo Nc6 13.c4

I am interested with this line: 9.Bxd7 Qxd7 10.oo b6 (10..oo 11.Nxa5) 11.Ng5!? Ba6 12.Re1 where Black has some problems on the kingside,( White is ready for an attack here)

It seems you're right, I couldn't find it in the DW book either. In the theory section Watson seems to have forgotten this promise.

A bit unfortunate, since White is scoring very well after a logical line like 9.Bd3 b6 10.0-0 c5 11.c4! Maybe Chesspublishing has touched on this line? I will dig out my copies of S.Pedersen and Psakhis and have a look.

The game Hmadi-Beliavsky, 1985 which Watson mentions on page 302 should be relevant; White breaks with c2-c4 there too but with the bishop on e2.

Steffen Pedersen, in his Tarrasch book of about five years ago, thought it should lead to equality.

1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 3 Nd2 Nc6 4 Ngf3 Nf6 5 e5 Nd7 6 Nb3 a5 7 a4 Be7 8 Bb5 Na7! now in the book "Dangerous Weapons: The French", "Debasing Strategy" chapter, Illustrative Games section, John Watson analyzes the move 9 Be2 and says we will look at 9 Bd3 in the analytical section. Am I mistaken or is 9 Bd3 not in the analytical section? How would you assess the position after 9 Bd3?
