Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

White still meets the idea ... Be6 with 10. exf6 Bxb3 11. fxg7 Kxg7 12. axb3 when White's three minor pieces should still be better than Black's queen and pawn. Black prepares to play ... c5 breaking up White's center or play ... Nb6 with play on the white squares depending on White's next move.
