I guess, it's not quite clear here. The ChessBase books strongly suggest ... e5
in this position.
A database search reveals that ... e6 had been played more often, but with very
little success for black. e5 had not been played so often, its success is very
poor, too. Perhaps this line isn't too good for black.

Yes, I guess that we should allow here ... e6 too.

I already expexted it. A couple of years ago on 486 hardware, I had made this
test occasionally and comet had scored already as well as the commercials. Thus,
on today's hardware, it could only be far better (provided I hadn't spoilt too
much meanwhile).
