hand I don't think it is a particularly good move. The problem is it creates
too many weaknesses in black's camp. The first time it was played was by the
great Paul Morphy in his match with Löwenthal. The result of the match was
+9-3=2 to Morphy. No grandmaster has been willing to follow Morphy's footsteps
in playing 8...f5 since!} (8... O-O {is almost never played but it is a

Nxc3 12. bxc3 {Black's position is already very difficult to even hold. The
main challenges for black are the a2-g8 diagonal is weak, the black queen is
not comfortable on d5, white's centre pawns are mobile, black's e7-bishop is
loose due to the threat of c3-c4 and d4-d5, the c7-pawn isn't that easy to
protect in a harmonious way and finally black's c8-bishop doesn't have any
easy way to get active. It isn't easy to solve all the problems.} Bf6 ({

surprised at this move - it seems like the bishop doesn't belong here as it
prevents whites' centre pawns from mobilising.} (18. b4 {seemed much more
logical to me, preventing black playing ...a7-a5. Perhaps white can play f2-f4
next bolstering the strong e5-bishop.}) 18... Kh7 19. Bd5 {So this is Mark's
idea forcing black to put another pawn on black squares which in turn makes
the d7-bishop look terrible. However the reality is it is more important for
black to complete his development so I intended to play ...c7-c6 anyway and
bring the bishop to b6, connecting my rooks and protecting the a7-pawn.} c6 20.
