Why isn't this covered in Collin's dvds and Neil Mcdonald's book??? I have some problems against this line, i used to play Bd2 but really this line isn't refuted or something like that, i played with fritz, i don't understand why collin and neil mcdonald don't look at this and give some advice.

Tomorrow i have a game against a french-player who plays the line:

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough (and it would be better if you posted the moves prior) but it looks like Qg4 would stir up some trouble on the kingside. If he castles you have the knight and both bishops ready to come over and it's going to be awhile before he can castle Q-side.

OK, this is the Nunn-Korchnoi gambit 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Bd3 c5 6.c3 Nc6 7.Ngf3!? (more usual is 7.Ne2) 7...cxd4 8.cxd4 Qb6 9.O-O Nxd4 10.Nxd4 Qxd4 11.Nf3 Qb6 12.Qa4 Bc5. I have found seven games in my database in this line and have posted them below. White won every game.

 

  Hope these are helpful. Qg4 and a3 seem to be the critical lines.

Wow, thanks, you helped me a lot.
