Jun-02-06		ajile: I think 8..c5 is more thematic for this opening. Black needs to strike back in the center. This is known as the English Defense and maybe also the Owens Defense. In some lines Black can take the game into wild territory with an early f5. Black's whole opening is geared to putting pressure on e4.
