  bright1: Doesn't 9. Nc3 lose a piece after Bg4?

After the queen moves, c6xb5 can be played.

  TheAlchemist: <bright1> You are right, 9.Nc3 loses. I'm not sure how both players managed to miss it. I hope you don't feel neglected, sometimes posts simply get overlooked.

  bright1: <The Alchemist> It's okay. Thanks for the reply.

I guess 9. Bd3 or 9. h3 have to be played. I thought I was missing a tactical trick somehow.
