B)

8 Re1 (D)

Black to play

8...Qf7

The main move. Black can also play 8...c6 9 b3 Na6 10 Bb2, transposing to the note to White’s 10th move in Line D11.

9 b3

Or:

a) 9 Ng5 is an attempt to force matters, but promises White nothing if Black plays correctly: 9...Qxc4 10 Bf1 Qc6 11 e4 fxe4 12 Bb5 (things are really bad for White after 12 Qb3+ d5 13 Rxe4 Nxe4 14 Nxd5 Kh8 15 Bb5 Nxg5 16 Bxc6 Nh3+ 17 Kf1 Rxf2+ 18 Ke1 Nxc6, R.Hofman-Lutz, Ostend 1992) 12...Qb6 13 Bc4+ Kh8 14 Nf7+ Rxf7 15 Bxf7 Bf5 16 Be3 c6 17 d5 c5 and Black’s chances are preferable, Tozer-Malaniuk, Hastings 1994/5.

b) 9 Qd3 and now:

b1) 9...Nc6?! 10 Ng5 Nb4 11 Nxf7 Nxd3 12 Nh6+ Bxh6 13 exd3 Bxc1 14 Raxc1 e6 15 f4 Rf7 16 Re2 Kf8 17 Rce1 c6 18 b4 Bd7 19 b5 Rc8 20 bxc6 bxc6 21 Rb1 gives White an advantage, although I.Farago-Malaniuk, Forli 1991 game ended in a draw.

b2) 9...h6 10 b3 Nc6 11 Ba3 a5 12 Rad1 g5 13 Nb5 and now the magnificent counter-blow 13...Nb4! 14 Bxb4 axb4 15 d5 Rxa2 favoured Black in I.Farago-Malaniuk, Ljubljana 1992.

We now return to 9 b3 (D):
