Makes sense.
because thats a completely different variation than i am looking at :) I like seeing 3.e5. the question is what do you play on move 8 of this line?
anybody?
1.e4 ...g6 2.d4 ...knf6 3.e5 ...knh5 4.Be2 ...d6 5.Bxknh5 ...gxBh5 6.Qxh5 ...dxe5
7.Qxe5 ...Rg8 (what do you play next as white?) feel free to post parenthetical lines or simply just the next move. Thank you. (sorry my diagram button dosent work)
I'd say that next from there, I'd plaaaaay.... g3, probably, followed by developing the queenside and then O-O-O. I don't know what the correct moves are, but those are the ones I'd play.
1 vote for g3 thanks Firefalcon. :)

ne2 defends d4 if bg7 and if rxg2 ng3 traps the rook, although black has the move bh3 so may be able to hold onto it for a while.
1 vote for ne2, thanks for the explaination Petrosianic, good point, very helpful
any other ideas?
Weird, after 7.Qe5 ...Rg7, analysis says its dead even (0.00). Qb5+ is a huge blunder. Qe4 maybe?
about the above Adams v Carlsen, 16. ... Ne5xf3+ is and improvement, again
17. ...Ne5xf3+ equalizes, 19. ... Re8xe5 is an improvement vs Bxe5 which Carlsen played. 24. ...Ng7f5 is slightly better than 24. ...Nh5. 29. ...Ng7-f5 is better than 29. ...b5. 36. Ng7-h5 pulls way better numbers than Qf7 (the difference is about the value a Queen) so the game could have gone very differently in several places, so I wouldnt discount the opening altogether from a single game. Thanks for posting it though, much appreciated!
