What's the game plan for White?

* If Black plays an immediate f6 knight move
plus ... f7-f5, respond with Ng5-e6.
After the exchange on e6, allow him to
win the e6 pawn, then use the time gained
therefrom, plus the light square superiority
resulting from ... Bxe6, to develop an attack.





* If he plays ... h6 first to prevent Ng5,
take advantage of the clear tempo he's just
given up.
* Finally, should Black make leisurely
arrangements for ... f7-f5, respond with
semi-waiting moves such as 9 Bd2, 9 Kh1,
9 a4, or 9 Bg5.
