Nc3 Qd8 $5 {An interesting 'modern' approach which is easy to play and better than it looks!} 4. Nf3 { White can also play d4 either here or on one of the next couple of moves to reach the main line position for this variation.} Nf6 5. Bc4 Bg4 $4 (5... a6 6. d4 b5 7. Bb3 c5 $1 8. dxc5 Qxd1+ 9. Nxd1 e6 {leads to an interesting position that I have played a few times against Martin Simons on Lichess. Black intends simple play with Bb7, Nbd7, Bxc5 and 0-0 and, if he is allowed to do this then he is fine!} 10. a4 $5 b4 11. Be3 $44 {is one way to challenge Black's set-up but he's still doing ok in my opinion. The game move is a huge blunder on my part...}) 6. Ne5 $1 $18 {Oof, a well-known theme and Black is busted!} (6. Bxf7+ Kxf7 7. Ne5+ {should also be winning for White but it's not as clear cut. }) 6... Bh5 $2 {(But has Black got things covered? Martin)} (6... Be6 7. Bxe6 fxe6 8. Qe2 $18 {was forced. White is positionally winning but, as material is level, Black can amble on!}) 7. Qxh5 $1 {(No and it's game over! Thanks for submitting this game, Christian, very brave. Martin)} 1-0
