Black has also tried: } ( 5...Nbd7 6.e5 { is good for White; for example, } 6...dxe5 7.dxe5 Ng8 8.Nf3 Nh6 ) ( 5...Nc6 6.e5 Nxd4 ( { tempting, but it produces a position that is hard for Black to control; instead } 6...Nd7 7.Nf3 Nb6 8.Bb3 O-O 9.h3 Na5 10.O-O { leads to roughly equal play } ) ) 6.e5 dxe5 { The snag with exchanging on e5 is that it allows White to put a rook on the d-file at some point to harass the black queen. } ( { Instead: } 6...Ne8 { should be met by } 7.Bg5 { intending to castle queenside. } ) ( 6...Nfd7 7.e6 Nb6 8.Bb3 ( { here } 8.exf7+ Kh8 9.Bg5 { is promising } ) 8...Nc6 ( 8...d5 { offers equal chances } ) 9.Nf3 fxe6 10.Bxe6+ Bxe6 11.Qxe6+ Kh8 12.Be3 Rf6 ( { perhaps } 12...Qc8 { is the best defence } ) ) {#r} 1-0
