Bb5 { 8.Bd3 h6 9.h4 with an initiative on the kingside.} 8... c5 { This pawn thrust is premature and should have been prepared by Bb7.} 9. dxc5 bxc5 {The future play will revolve around Black's hanging pawns.} 10. O-O Bb7 11. Rc1 Qb6 {Ideally Black would like to have his knight on b6 to help protect his d-pawn but this is not easy to achieve. 12.Bxd7 Qxd7 13.Bxf6 Bxf6 14.Ne4 Taking advantage of Black's d-pawn being pinned. 14...Bxb2 15.Nxc5 Now Black at best ends up with a very weak isolated d-pawn.} 12.
