White to play

5 Nf3

The alternative is 5 Nge2 Nf6 6 0-0 a6:

a) 7 a4 Nxe4 (7...d5 8 exd5 exd5 9 Ba2 Ne6 10 d4 c4 11 b3 cxb3 12 Bxb3 with a complicated strategic battle; e.g., 12...Bb4 13 Qd3 0-0 14 Qf3 Bxc3 15 Qxc3 Bd7 16 Qd3 b5 17 Bd2 Rb8 18 Nf4 Qb6 19 Nxe6 fxe6 20 a5 Qd6 21 f3 Be8 22 Rfe1 Bg6 23 Qe3 Rfe8 24 Qf2 Rbc8 = Egiazarian-Baklan, Ohrid European Ch 2001) 8 Nxe4 d5 9 Bd3 dxe4 10 Bxe4 Be7 = 11 b3? f5! 12 Bd3 Nxb3! –+ F.Andersson-T.Kosintseva, Khalkidhiki Under-18 European Ch 2001.

b) 7 d3 b5 8 Bb3 Nxb3 9 axb3 Bb7 10 f4 d5 11 e5 d4! 12 exf6 dxc3 13 fxg7 Bxg7 14 bxc3 Qd7 (14...Bxc3 15 Nxc3 Qd4+ wins a pawn, but the position remains unclear after 16 Rf2 Rg8! 17 g3 Qxc3 18 Be3!) 15 f5 Qc6 16 Nf4 (White burns all his bridges; after 16 Rf2 0-0-0 Black looks better, but of course there is a lot of play ahead) 16...Bxc3 17 fxe6 0-0-0 18 exf7 Bxa1 19 Qg4+ Qd7 20 Ne6 Bd4+ 21 Kh1 Bd5 22 Re1 Rhf8 23 c4 Bxe6 24 Rxe6 Rxf7 0-1 Jotić-Ermenkov, Subotica 2002.

5...Nf6 (D)

Other moves would make White happy by allowing 6 Nxd4 cxd4 7 Ne2.
