  tpstar: I like these French lines where Black accepts the IQP, as White can utilize the d4 & e5 squares to gain space. I also enjoy making the KB waste time with 8. dc Bxc5 and then again after 9. Nb3.

  Honza Cervenka: 9...Qb6?! and 10...Ne4?! were the beginning of black's troubles. 9...Bb6 or 9...Be7 would have been better, and also 10...Be6 was a lesser evil.
