Ideas anyone?

5...Nf6 was played against me once, in a blitz game, by Shredder. I won in less than thirty moves, although it was clearly not because of this move.

White has a normal opening advantage after 5...Nf6, but probably less than that after 5...Nxc3. However, either move is playable.


You mean Shredder won in less than thirty moves...It is supposed to play aroud 2800 elo
