Apr-10-04  hickchess99: another reason why after g5 in the queen's gambit semi-slav Bg3 is no good.

  refutor: the line with Bg3 is actually a fairly hot line after the Moscow move order 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Nf3 e6 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 (instead of the usual 6.Bxf6) dxc4 7.e4 g5 8.Bg3 b5 as in games like Shirov vs Kramnik, 1996 it looks like garbage to me, but it's played at (or near) the highest levels
