Mar-19-06  siu02jm: why are we not taking the pawn, at move 10. : 10.dxc5?
Mar-19-06  MrMojoRisin: No particular reason as to why he didn't want to take the pawn. It wasn't a blunder or anything so maybe he just wanted to move his Rook to the half-open b-file instead.

A possible continuation if he did play 10.dxc5 is 10...Ne5 11.Bb3 Qc7 12.Bd4 Rd8 =

Mar-19-06  seoulmama: If White takes the pawn, 10.dxc5, he is left with a splintered pawn center. Also the isolated, doubled pawns on the c-file is nothing to be proud of.
Aug-02-09  pericles of athens: i like 7....c5. my computer always plays that move against me.

Apr-24-18  veerar: <siu02jm> Exploiting the weakness of the c P,is typical of the Grunfeld.

  manselton: A classic example of Black's oldest defensive plan against 7.Bc4. Notice how Black did not exchange pawns until _after Rb1. After this the plan of ...Na5, ...cxd4 and ...b6 leaves the WQR on a poor file. Essentially Black has gained a tempo.

If grabs the pawn with 10.dxc5?! then 10...Ne5 (for example) gives Black play quite adequate to the pawn.
