I have almost no experience with this variation. Today is 29 July 2012 and I started changing my main response against 1.e4 e5. Let's do this...

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 <Instead 4...bxc6?! 5.d4!> 5.0-0!

A)5...Bg4
A1)6.h3 Bxf3?! 7.Qxf3
A2)6.h3 Bh5?! 7.g4!
A3)6.h3 h5!

B)5...f6
<C)5...Qd6>
<D)Other tries>
