found two games:
9...Nd7 R Dabo Peranic vs D Elezovic, 2007 1-0
9...Qd7 Adianto vs Chessmaster, 2005 0-1
just another unremarkable opening that I wouldn't play.
Jeez... I post and annotate a game in the thread and you can't find it 
...It's a really nice attacking game from White (and another branch 9...Nc6 1-0) ... I'm so disappointed no one has commented on it (even just to say you liked it or not!) -- but at any rate, Ouachita, I think you call it unremarkable because you're evaluating it as a bread and butter line but I think it's got a very clear purpose: it's a non-drawing Petroff line! It might be risky, but if Black is a weaker player, playing for a draw (which is exactly what the Petrov is good for) and it's late rounds and you need a full point -- this seems to be an excellent weapon to have on hand for such an occasion (for white).
*EDIT* Speaking of not reading, I see that all my points about this line have been covered in more detail earlier in the thread by Scarblac. 'pologies, Scarblac.
Guys, you need to give Deep Emotions a break, he's having a hard time hearing anyone else over the sound of his own incredible awesomeness.
Hmmm
I've seen that Bxa7 sacrifice (in the exact same position) in Jeroen Nooman's Rybka 3 book.
In fact, about a year ago, it was published as one of the "apetizer" lines to get people interested in the book. It's an interesting attempt. And yes, the position is unclear after the sacrifice. Have tried to analyze it in depth. I prefer to defer judgement on it for now.
Bxa7?

Sorry. Meant Bxa2
Yea, the position is unclear. If white play every time the best move, will win. But no one human is perfect.

Actually, not even that is true.
It is completely unclear whether or not white has a win at all, even with perfect play.
Black may actually have enough here to keep the game balanced (of course, that's all that black would want, but one slip by white may actually lose. I'm just claiming it may be an ok line). I've looked at the aforementioned book and there are tons of interesting lines.
It is really unclear, even chess engines have a hard time playing either side.
what if White plays b3 and leaves the bishop there keeping it out of play?
the move Bxa2 was the gambit? I thought this was Petroff Defence Bishop's Gambit
anyway, I found an interesting game on that move variation, the Nimzowitsch Attack of the petroff defence
Seems we have a new troll :D
