French Tarrasch 4...Qxd5 line with Nf5!? attack by White.  This is the main
theoretical battle in the French Tarrasch.  There are all kinds of positions in
this variation where the players are walking on a tightrope.  Extending when
only a small number of moves are decent is going to be valuable in such a
variation, and it's hardly the case that the game is basically already over.
