Any ideas on how to fight this as Black?

Ideas can start as early as from move 6....

Any comments are welcome. Any opinions are, too. I look forward to your ideas.

At the masters level there are two main continuations: 9...Nc6 and 9...e5 (less common are 9...f5, 9...Bf5, and 9...e6 - all played at the masters level).

The most played lines are:

9...Nc6 10.d5 Ne5 11.Be2 f5 12.f4 Ng4/Nf7

9...e5 10.dxe5 dxe5 11.Qxd8 Rxd8 12.c5 Nd7 13.Bc4 Nc6 14.Nf3

Lots of stuff here:

Thanks for the link!

I have analyzed Nc6, it is not that bad, but still....same goes for e5.

f5 seems to be promising.

What about a5? Then attack the Queenside pawns....also handy is moving the Knight back to f3....

I recently played this opening as Black and won in the endgame.

And you're saying that Black fares better in the endgame?
