9. Nf3-e5
Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move
Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

The players are repeating the sequence from Game Thirteen (but with colors reversed!). This may be a good psychological ploy by the challenger...

9. Ne5 unleashes the Bg2, prevents ... Nbd7 (through the attack on the c6-square), and adds another defender to the c4-square.
