  IMlday: 11.h4!? White has space and looks better.

  RookFile: Chigorin's Nb5 and Nxa7 actually reminds one of Korchnoi's play against the King's Indian.

  schnarre: 11. h4 looks worth a try--I like the idea of the h3-c8 diagonal being opened up as well. I found myself looking initially at 11. a4, but h4 looks to be the better of the two.
Feb-29-08  Knight13: But I don't like the idea of Black having pawns on BOTH SIDES WITH A PAWN UP WITH A BISHOP VS KNIGHT and can't do anything.
