So i actually >just drew the author of the book :). Yeah - this is all theory. I've played the Black side of it in a real, over the board match. If you check the databases you'll see GM's playing it every now and then. Indeed, there are various short draws that get played and played. As Black, if White is content with a draw, it can be hard to avoid, without accepting a disadvantage. John Nunn covers this line in some of his Pirc books, White clearly has to try something else on move 10 if he doesn't want to draw. As for Black, if he wants to avoid this he can try 8. ... Bxb5, but after that he has little choice. Owen
