I have a horrible record against this variation because I don't have a clue how to handle it, even after studying lines. After move 7 my position got worse and worse. Even if I hadn't made a blunder on move 14, I was still totally lost and my king was unsafe no matter what I did. Use this game as an example of what to avoid. This was an OTB classical game. I was a 1500 playing against a 1600.

After losing this badly, I was so steamed that I forgot to write the last move on my scoresheet.
