It seems obvious that the knight needs to move after e5 and Nd5 seems a good choice. Something is wrong with your line above if you think 7....Qc7 is a good move. Also I posted earlier, in response to someone saying Hiarcs book was not good. I took the first 100 games I played Hiarcs vs Fritz and checked the Fritz score when out of book. In 68 games Fritz believed Hiarcs was better or equal (I think equal in about 8 games) which means in 32 games Fritz was better. This does not look like a bad book to me. Also the manual mentions that you should NOT play Fritz using Hiarcs book OR edit the Hiarcs book since this will give the book bad values in the tree. So anyone who has done this should reset the tree and start over again.
