1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 (Has this move gone out of fashion) Nxe4 4.Bd3! (to avoid tranposing into main line by Nxe5 d6!) d5 5.Nxe5 Bd6 6.0-0 Nd7 7.Nxd7 Bxd7 8.c4 c6 9.cxd5 cxd5 10.Qh5 0-0 11.Qxd5 This is all theory and White stands better right, I must be missing something since it is not being played at the GM level reguarly.

Hi, there was a game between Anand and Karpov in 1999 with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.d4 Nxe4 4.Bd3 d5 5.Nxe5 Bd6 6.0-0 Nd7 7.Nxd7 Bxd7 8.c4 c6 9.cxd5 cxd5 10.Qh5 0-0 11.Qxd5 White is a pawn up, but Black has compensation. To say White is better just for material reasons might be a little misleading here, Whites queen on d5 is not extremely strong, and at the moment White cant do very much with his extra pawn. 11... Bc6 12.Qh5 g6 13.Qh3 Ng5 14.Qg4 (or 14.Qh6!?) Ne6 15.Bh6 Re8 16.Nc3 Bf4 17.Bxf4 Qxd4 18.Be4 Ok, now Karpov played 18... f5?!, but Black has 18... Nxf4 (Fritz 8) 19.Qxf4 Bxe4 20.Rae1 f5 Black has regained his pawn but the pin is somewhat annoying, however, i dont see more than a draw after f.ex. 21.Re3 Rad8 22.Rfe1 (22.f3 Bc6!=) Rf8 23.Nxe4 fxe4 24.Qxe4 Qxb2 = Tiviakov played this variation in 2000 and 2002 with white, but he avoided 14.Qg4 and played 14.Qh6, both games ended in a draw. It looks like Black has enough equalizing chances in this variation. kind regards, Oliver

Who sez that White stands better after 3. d4? Apparently most grandmasters don't think so since they don't play it... Henri
