Here's another game that followed the same opening (up through 8...e5), in which Black upset White (White had a rating 260 points higher than Black). [Event "Open"] [Site "Bled SLO"] [Date "1998.03.24"] [Round "4"] [White "Balinov, Ilija"] [Black "Kavcic, U"] [TimeControl "-"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "B32"] [WhiteELO "2485"] [BlackELO "2225"] [WhiteCountry "BUL"] [BlackCountry "SLO"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5 5.Nb5 d6 6.c4 Be7 7.b3 f5 8.exf5 Bxf5 9.Bd3 e4 10.Bc2 Nf6 11.Ba3 d5 12.cxd5 Qa5+ 13.Qd2 Qxb5 14.dxc6 Rd8 15.Qc3 Bg4 16.Qc4 Qxc4 17.bxc4 bxc6 18.Ba4 Kf7 19.O-O c5 20.Nc3 Rd3 21.Rac1 Rhd8 22.Rfe1 Bd6 23.Rc2 Bf4 24.Bc1 Be5 25.Bb2 Bd4 26.Kf1 e3 27.f3 Bf5 28.Nb1 Rd2 29.Nxd2 Bxc2 30.Bxd4 exd2 0-1 According the CM9000 database, it looks like 7...f5 is the wrong choice. Both 7...Nf6 and 7...a6 have much better scoring percentages for White. jm
