[ Nowaydays the most usual answer is: 7.Be2 X14 ; for example: 7...0-0 X15 8.0-0 X16 Na6 X17 9.Re1 X18 Nc7 X19 10.Ng5 X20 Rb8 X21 11.a4 X22 b6 X23 12.Nge4 X24 Bb7 X25 13.Nxf6+ X26 Bxf6 X27 14.Bf3 X28 Be5 X29 15.Ne2 X30 Qh4 X31 =/+ Hussein, Noah A (2339) - Tissir, Mohamed (2444) A43 (45) 0-1, Arab-ch Dubai, 2005]

7...Bd7 X32 8.Qe2 X33

This old answer is now abandoned with the profit of protection of the Bishop by the a-pawn. Begins this way the Thematic Middle Game (THMG:)

[ Thus: 8.a4 X34 0-0 X35 9.h3 X36 Na6 X37 10.0-0 X38 Nb4 X39 11.Re1 X40 Bf5 X41 12.Re2 X42 a6 X43 13.Bc4 X44 b6 X45 14.g4 X46 Bg6 X47 15.Nh4 X48 Re8 X49 16.Nxg6 X50 hxg6 X51 17.Bf4 X52 +/= Chiong, Luiz (2373) - Szmetan, Jorge (2404) A43 (39) 1-0, Internet blitz, 2004]

8...0-0 X53 9.0-0 X54 a6 X55 10.Bxd7 X56 Nbxd7 X57 11.Re1 X58 Qc7 X59 12.Bg5 X60 Rae8 X61 13.Nh4 X62

We may consider it is the begining of the Deep Middle Game (DEMG:). The game is balanced, with nevertheless a little White advantage.

13...Bd8 X63 14.Qd2 X64 Ne5 X65 15.Nf5 X66 Qd7 X67 16.Ng3 X68 b5!= X69

Black disposes of a Pawn Mobile Front (PMFR:) on the Queen-side.

17.Bxf6?! X70

A doubtful choice.

[ May be envisaged 17.b3 X71 with the idea: 17...b4 X72 18.Na4 X73 ]

17...Bxf6?! X74

[ Very strong is: 17...Nc4! X75 18.Qd3 X76 Bxf6 X77 19.b3 X78 Nb6 X79 =/+]

18.Nce4 X80 Bd8 X81 =/+ 19.f4?! X82

In this game the great Chigorin has any clear Plan (PLAN:) and does not play very accurately. As a result, White position is becoming inferior.

19...Nc4! X83 20.Qf2 X84 f5 X85 21.b3 X86 fxe4! X87

[ Obviously, another strong retort is: 21...Nb6! X88 22.Ng5 X89 Bxg5 X90 23.fxg5 X91 f4 X92 24.Nf1 X93 Nxd5 X94 -+]

22.bxc4 X95 Bf6 X96

Black wins the quality.

23.Rad1 X97 Bd4 X98 24.Rxd4 X99 cxd4 X100 25.Qxd4 X101 Rxf4-+ X102 26.cxb5 X103 Qxb5 X104 27.Nh5?! X105 Rf7! X106 28.g3 X107 Re5 X108 29.Nf4 X109 g5 X110 30.c4 X111 Qa5 X112 31.Ng2 X113 Qxa2 X114
