Her...I was hoping someone else would comment first. Here are some of my thoughts to get things started:<br /><br />I think after 5.Nf3, Black should have seen that White has e5 as a potential pawn break, and played e5 before 6... Ngf6. This would have avoided the uncomfortable continuation where White has a pawn on e6.<br /><br />Also, 6.Be2 seems more natural than the suggested Bf4, because this move also prepares castling on the King side. By waiting to move the dark square bishop, White has options for Bf4 or Bg5, or even Be3. An immediate 6.Bf4 would also prompt e5 by Black, which gives Black some tempo.Azroy Kandanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03121869057135888161noreply@blogger.com
