    Can someone explain whites line after 6...e5.  I keep getting pawned by the computer and cant see a way to keep up pressure and defend. Thanks in advance.

    Michael, there are a few thematic tourneys on this variation from time to time @ chess.com, or you could start one. If you do I suggest you limit the rating level of the players who join to around your rating level, there is little value in having a 2400+ 'beat ya all up!'

    I find if black plays "quietly" then white struggles the longer the game goes on. I prefer the Nc6 with a6, Qc7, Bd7 / Be7 lines ... & just wait to see what white's intentions are.

    Mind you, the:

    1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e6 6. Be3 a6 7. g4 Nc6 8. g5 Nd7 9. h4 h5

    is an interesting struggle for both players.

    Seems to be worthwhile if you are trying to castle on the queenside. then it will build up the attack on the black king if he castles on the kingside
