May-17-05   aw1988: What do you suggest? If Bd3 Qc3+. Bb1 loses a piece. If he leaves the bishop there, it's toast.

  Shams: the Bc2 can't move to b1 without dropping its counterpart, and the only way to add to its defense is with 12.Kd2. But the King must back off after ...Qc3+. So, white loses a piece.

So, where did white go wrong? I don't play the advance but Bf1-d3-c2 and then b3 looks too slow. The French must be met energetically!!

May-17-05   Kangaroo: 5. f4 was the first error. The punishment is a lost pawn (at least).
