Besides on my own chessinsight i'm relying on the analyses of Seirawan,
published June ICCA 97, you are GM too, or basing on other
GM's apart from Kasparov who may not join this discussion, unless
he publices proof like main lines and stuff why it is good?

Even if b4 is a good move, can you comment on all the other ? moves i
wrote about, like the horrible Bxg6?, which is played
clearly because of lacking simple positional knowledge.

Most programs don't even CONSIDER Bxg6?
When i do a quiescencesearch at Bxg6 Diep already thinks Bxg6
worsens the position.

Greetings,
Vincent
