Hello Dan, 8.Bf1-a6 is in Century's book so I don't think it is a novelty. But
maybe it is a novelty of Jeroen! Q5T wants to insert 8. ..Ng8-f6 9.Qe4-a4 in
your line which would appear to make some sense:
[Event ""]
[Site ""]
[Date ""]
[Round ""]
[White ""]
[Black ""]
[Result ""]
1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.Qxd4 Nc6 4.Qe3 Nf6 5.e5 Ng4
6.Qe4 d5 7.exd6+ {e.p.} Be6 *

Century's book gives 8. ..Qd8xd6 though, Century 2.0 has only been running a few
minutes as yet and says after 8.Bf1-a6 White is slightly worse:
00:53 09.00 0.12 8..Nf6 9.Qa4 Qxd6 10.Bxb7 Qb4+ 11.Qxb4 Nxb4
