It was championed in top GM play around 2017 but quickly died out.} 10. Nd1 {0 } Nxd4 {171 According to Mega this is a novelty, and a strange one at first view. Conceptually the idea of trading off one of Black's only good pieces while doing nothing to improve the fate of the bishop on c8 seems utterly ludicrous.} 11. Nxd4 {97} cxd4 {0} 12. Bxd4 {21 The obvious continuation here might be to castle for Black, or possibly Nc5 or Nb6-c4 or even Bc5. Fat Fritz has its own idea.} Nb8 { 58 Repositioning the knight and offering to exchange it for the bishop on d4 instead.} 13. 0-0 {183} Nc6 {43} 14.

All Black's pieces are active and aggressively posted, with a passed pawn on d3 that almost seems to have arrived there by magic.} 33. Re3 {237} Nc1 {0} 34. Bh5 {56} Rf6 {101} 35.

While it did not end up being enough to win, the approach that Fat Fritz demonstrated is illustrative of its play and what you can expect analyzing with it.} 1/2-1/2
