9. Bxc3 cxd4
Also possible is 9...Nc6.
10. Bxd4 Nbd7








   
11. Be2
A novelty. In the game Rehberg, C - Shapiro, O, US op, Baltimore 1948, White had a small advantage with 11. Bc4 Qh5 12. O-O (12. Be2!?) b6 13. Be2 Bb7.
11...e5
The alternative is 11...b6.
12. Bc3 e4 13. Rd1 Qf5








   
14. Nd4
14. Nd2!? and 14. O-O!? Nb6 15. Nd2 are better.
14...Qg5!
A fine move. Black gets good counterplay on the kingside
15. O-O Ne5
15...Nb6! is even stronger.
16. f4
16. Kh1 is playable.
16...exf3 17. Nxf3 Qxe3+ 18. Kh1 Neg4!

19...Qh6 20. Bc5?!
White could try 20. Bc4.
