edge.7...cxd48Nb5...8.Nxd4Nxd49.Qxd4is a typical 2.c3 'safe'
choice: White guarantees a miniscule edge with, if she so chooses, practically
no losing chances.9...Qxd410.Bxd4e5!(or else White is just better)11.Bxe5Bxa312.bxa3O-O-O13.Bd4Rhe8+14.Kd2Ne4+15.Kc1Re6and after the accurate16.a4!Black still has some
work to do to prove equality, though objectively it's there.9...e5?!has been played a few times, but finally
someone got around to play the refutation that the computers immediately
scream out:10.Qa4+Bd711.Nb5!Qc612.Qa5!and White is clearly

find a few only-moves, but given the 500 ELO gap between the two players,
Krauss would probably have been pretty satisfied with an easy half-point.10...Qe4+11.Be2Qxg2leads to a long,
forced drawing sequence:12.Rf1Nxh213.Nxf5Qe414.Ne3Ne515.Nd4Nxf116.Bxf1Rxd417.cxd4Nf3+18.Ke2Nxd4+19.Ke1Nf3+20.Ke210...Nxd4?11.cxd4a612.Qc1+Kb813.Qc7+Ka814.a4!+−10...e611.Nxc6bxc612.Nd4Qe5+13.Qe210...e5?11.Nxf5Nxf212.Kxf2Qxd2+13.Qxd2Rxd2+14.Ke3Rxb215.Nbd6+±10...Qxg211Bf3Nxe312fxe3Qg513Qe2?...13.Bxc6!would have given White a
