  Sneaky: I'd suggest a pun, but it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

  tpstar: Black to Play and Win after 11. c4.

Better was 11. Nexd4 exd4 12. Qe2+ Be7 13. Qe4 with a decent position for White.

Feb-16-20  sea7kenp: Opening Explorer prefers the Position after White's 4th Move for Black, *because* of Black's Response. And 5 O-O seems to work better for White.
