Bf5. Black is  rather passive, 6. Qc7 is better not fearing a later Nb5 when the queen can  simply run away.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-style: italic\"> 7.

Ndxe5 is met by 12. Nb6 so  although this allows a combination it may already be relatively best.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000ff\" style=\"font-size: 13pt; font-style: italic\"> 11.
