Hi Rob,

This is no good test position, as Qg4 is just one move between several equal
alternatives. It is just the move which gives more attractive positions
for the Human eyes. I don't know BTW why you quote 'Polgar' here ,as this
move was played by 10000's of players already?

Me myself I would just transpose with ...Qc7 then, instead of let's say ...Kf8.
I just don't trust ...Kf8 and 0-0 even more, but I don't know what current
theory says meanwhile?

I stopped opening theory learning around 10 years ago, after learning it
for several years intensively in the late 80ies until mid 90ies.
