First of all, you are posting hypothetcal moves that I played - WRONG. The game continued: 11.Be2...Qb6 12.c4...Nf6 13.0-0. And Hiarcs does not consider this position equal. :)))))) I have no idea why you thought I played 11.c4. Hiarcs did not play Nb6, it played 11...Qb6 and 12...Nf6. Perhaps that's because I didn't play 11.c4 but played 11.Be2. Anyway, I do have a plus score of around 0.50 and I think a better position. Look at Hiarcs pawn at d7 - look at my pawn at d6. Do you like Hiarcs position here? Check it out according to the moves I played. Now, you can also take a look at the Bishop's opening I posted and tell me if you like Hiarcs opening there?
