If you study variations carefully, black has no problems here.

Main reason for 6.N1e2 insted of 6.Nh3 are you can answer 6...e5 with 7.Be3 or c3 in the Nh3 line its not soo good. If I got it right Wink or you can jump into same lines as with Nh3.

Thx for the help. 

I got hold of the IM too day and asked about the Nh3 line.
He told me that they often transposed but it have in 1 or 2 variants it better too have the Knight on Ne2 soo he thinks its more precise too play Ne2.

Think 1 was the e5 line have too check my notes.

Have too agree with Kylemaeister that black can loose fast in this line if he not booked up, my friend showed me some lines and what too play.

The pawn sac of Tal he also showed me. He also showed my a new line he find him self. It looked good I think. We also reached pos with bishop pair with a slight advange for white with no risk, some lines was also a bit tricky for black easy too step wrong. I going too spend some hours too studie the critical lines and see if i can find the artikel in new in chess CHK talked about.

And thx again for usefull inputs Smiley

It may also lead to Tal's sac employed in his first WCh vs. Botvinnik (1960):
6. N1e2 e6 7. h4!? h6 8. Nf4 Bh7 9. Bc4 Nf6!? 10.O-O Bd6 11.Nxe6!? fxNe6,
White sacrifices a pawn for better piece coordination. Black is ok, but some preparation is needed in order to face this line.
As White you should also check what happens if Black plays ...e5 which is good in some positions and not so good in others.

S. Kasparov had a favorable view of this old line (6. N1e2/Nh3) in a Yearbook article a little over a year ago, saying that "in most cases" White gets slightly better chances with the bishop pair, at little risk.  I've been struck by noticing a few games since then in which Black managed to lose rather quickly.

6.Nh3 with the same idea is certainly more popular, especially since Radjabov and Tiviakov started employing it. It gives white some more options, like playing c2-c3 and Bc4 before deploying the knight at f4.
If things were that simple, then everyone would play that. In reality, Black does not have much to worry about after 6.N1e2/Nh3 Nf6 7.Nf4 e5. Maybe 6.Nh3 Nf6 7.c3 Nbd7 8.Bc4, waiting for ...e6 before playing Nf4, is more testing.
