{With 5...Nc6, White had to put his black-squared bishop on e3,
instead of a more natural square like g5. So White can't play as if he
was in the main variation. Futhermore there are Black threats with Ng4
very worrying}

7...O-O {With 7...exf3 8.Nxf3 Ng4 9.Bg1 O-O 10.O-O-O, the game is
totally unclear but White seems to have compensation}
