Probably slightly better is 8...Nb4 or 8...Nc7. But after 8...Nb4 White obtained a clear edge in Van der Wiel, J - Spoelman, W, Essent Open, Hoogeveen 2005, 9. exf6 exf6 10. Qh5+ g6 11. Qe2+ Qe7 12.

11. e6!
A novelty. I wrote about this move in my article "Novelty found during the game" 1.10.2000. In the game Simacek, P - Bazant, P, Czech Extraleague 1999 (0-1, 44) Black obtained an advantage after 11. O-O? e6 12. Qe4 d5! 13. exd6 Bxd6 14. g3 O-O 15. d3 Rf5 16. Ne2 Bd7 17. f4 Raf8.
11...h6
If 11... dxe6 then 12. Qxg5 with an edge to White.
12. h4!?
Possible is 12. Ne4 Qc6 13. exd7+ Bxd7 14. Qe5 e6 15. d3.
12...dxe6
12...gxh4!?.
13. Qe4 Qf4
If 13... gxh4 then 14. Rxh4 g5 15. Rh3 with initiative.
14. hxg5 Qxe4+ 15. Nxe4 b6 16. d3 Bb7 17. Bf4

18. Bc7 b5 19. Nxc5 Bxg2 20. g6+! Ke8
Or 20... Kf6 21. Rg1 Rc8 22. Rxg2 Rxc7 23. Ne4+ Kf5 24. Kd2, winning.
21. Rh5! Bf3 22. Re5 Rc8 23. Ba5
