I' am sorry to oppose, but 6.c3 is a bad move. We all were told not to shuffle ariound our pieces in the opening and this position should _not_ be an exception. Black has several good opportunities (analyzed with crafty 18.13). a) 6...Sc6!? 7.Qb3 Bxf3 8.gxf3 (8...Qxb7 Ndb4! looses, as was shown otherwise) 8...Na5 9.Qa4+ Nc6 10.Qb3 (what else?) 10...Na5 (with a draw, 10...c6!? is possible but probably not quite correct.) b) 6...e6 7.Qa4+ Qd7 8.Bb5 c6 9.Bxc6 (now white wins inevitable a healthy pawn, but he pays the price) 9...Nxc6 (9...Qxc6 10.Qxg4 Qa6 looks also good) 10.Qxg4 f5 (11...Ndb4? 12.cxb4 Nxb4 13.0-0! is too crazy) 11.Qa4 e5 (Black has compensation.) 12.d4 e4 (12...exd4 13.0-0! is quite good for white) 13.Nfd2 Bd6 14.Nc4 Bc7 (Black has all means to attack the white king later) Oliver Roese
