Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Black varies from game one when he played 7. ... Bg4 and was apparently not safisfied with the type of position he obtained. He now tries another active continuation. His plan is to play ... b5 (maybe later ... b4 to chase away the c3-knight) and ... Bb7 to put pressure on White's center.
