But if Black plays 0-0-0, white plays Bxf7 and picks up a pawn. If Black plays e6, then white has Bxe6 which seems very dangerous if not outright winning. So Black plays Bg8, and now he can castle, play e6, and g5. Of course, White will be busy on the Queenside and center during this time, but at least black has chances. anthony
