  tpstar: The Scotch Four Knights with 7. Bd3 d5 and now Black should meet 8. e5 with 8 ... Ng4 instead of interpolating 8 ... Qe7 9. 0-0 Nd7 where winning the Pc3 is highly risky given the weak dark squares. The reference game makes White trade the QB to regain the Pawn, giving Black the Two Bishops while Black's King can castle by hand. White had a chance to trap my Queen but missed it and thus Black pulled it out.
