9.Be2 Qf6 10.0-0 Be7 11.Bh5+ Diagram a move to provoke a pawn advance/weakenening - also tried in the Schmitz-Reichert game (at move 16 ) although in that game white opened the position too much and became overwhelmed by pawns 11...g6 12.Be2 Bd7 13.f3 Qg5 14.Nb3 0-0-0 15.d5 exf3 16.Bxf3 Ne5 17.Qe2 h5 18.e4 Nxf3+ 19.Rxf3 Qf6 20.Rg3 Diagram 20...Rhg8?!
