It's rather cool to see this development in opening theory from ground zero (April 1996) to the modern day concepts that we take for granted. It took years to discover that Ne5 was superior to Ng5 in this position. } 1. Nf3 f6 2. e3 Nc6?? { [%csl Ge5,Gd7][%cal Gf3e5,Ge5d7,Gd7f8] } 3. Ng5 fxg5 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Qd5 { [%csl Gd7,Gf7] } 5... d6 6.
