Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. Nxf7 Kxf7 7. Qf3+ Ke6 8. Nc3 Ne7 9. d4 c6 10. dxe5 OK.. the main move I used to play here was Bg5, rather than d4, although I am sure I tried d4 many times... The thing I seem to remember about not liking dxe5 is the white pawn on e5 is a perfect blocker for the black king to hide behind. A rook on the e-file now produces no fear until that pawn can be pushed. I can think of two replies here that appear interesting. 10. ... b5, driving the bishop back and giving me a square to develop my c8 bishop to untangle the rook. or 10. ... Qe8 attempting to get the queen to the kingside and either trade queens or push the white queen away to untangle the center. No way I play 10. ... Kxe5? of course. :) Lets try the b5 line first...
