4... Nf6 5.O-O O-O 6.d4 exd4 7.Nxd4 Nxe4
I was surprised by this bold move and made a long think.
8.Bxf7+
I thought that NM Gerry was wrong; exchanging his K's pawn cover for my center pawn. But I also thought wrong, for Rybka rates my choice in Black's favor. The simple recapture, 6.Nxe4 d5 7.Bd3 dxe4 8.Bxe4, will give me a slight advantage.
8... Rxf7 9.Nxe4 d5 10.Ng3 c5
A free and mobile center constitutes a terrible attacking weapon, since the threatened advance of the central pawns would drive back the opponent's pieces. Nimzovich in My System

FM Bersamina vs GM Bui
1 e4 c5 2 Nc3 e6 3 f4 a6
GM Bui responded with a rare but solid continuation that was played in Kamsky vs Anand in Groningen 1993 and in Aronian vs Ivanchuk in Monte Carlo 2006.
Often played here is 3... Nc6 as in Anand vs Kasparov in New York 1994 and Short vs Topalov in Dos Hermanas 1997.
4 Nf3 Nc6 5 g3
Pau played a move which according to chessgames.com statistics favors the Black side; only 20% wins for White against 50% for Black. But Pau is just in high school and does not have a Statistics subject.
