Oct-31-04		Theoryhack: Houska used to play this system herself with black. It is impressive how quickly she destroys it with the White pieces.

Mar-06-06		foolishmovesss: Blacks mistake was bg4. The bishop is misplaced there, and is eventually lost. This could have been avoided with b5 and bb7.

Mar-06-06		foolishmovesss: Ok so let me clarify. Bg4 is not a mistake in itself. However the only purpose is to eventually trade of your bishop. I think Bb7 is much better, unless you want to try and get a sorta CK setup. In witch case go for it. The Bronstien variation is however in my opinion the better way to go. Peace. --Foolish
