After f5, this allowed me to play Nd6+ forcing Bxd6 - take a look at the position. By the way, Hiarcs score was around a +.50 for me after the exchange. I also posted a lousy Bishop's opening for Hiarcs. I suggest you look at my original post. If you want me to post it again, just let me know. _______________________________________________ >f6.
