5...Ng4 I will have to check that one out I only play d5. An excellent result for Short given the first game setback with the white pieces.

yes 5...Ng4 is ok, what about 7....Qxd6 would it be better to develop a piece instead Bxd6 ?

N-g4 is well playable, I guess Short wanted to avoid the main lines with d5 expecting some thing prepared by his opponent

Thanks for posting the games kco, I will spend some time analysing all six.

How will this affect Short's rating? Did he play above his rating?
