All games ended 0-1: i'm not so sure that strong chessplayers favour black here. this position ends in a += in the line given in NCO; it claims that white's best move is 6. Nf3, which did not occur in any of the games you posted (citing Hector-Sergeev). of course, this also leaves a clear discrepancy between human and computer view of this position, but that happens quite frequently :-) cheers martin
