Sorry, this is how I understood: My view on analysis of chess positions, yours or anyone else, is that they are all valid. It's chess after all. I was not upset with with your contribution.

The choice of replys to Qd4 are 1. Qe7 (Rebel's default choice, however I read today that the default engine is not the one being used - AntiGM is set to Smart) 2. g3 (the line you give looks strong for black) 3. h4 (Uri's suggestion, which looks best) One last thought on analysis. I find this site a good place to share ideas on different lines. If a line holds up we all benefit and are appreciative. If a line misses something others jump in and the position with many minds at work becomes clearer. The day I believe someone's analysis is not worthy or usefull is the day I will quit my involvement in chess.
