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
