If Black is well-prepared, however, he can wind up with a strong initiative.} O-O 6.Nf3 c5 {This is the most principled reply, attacking White's broad pawn center in true hypermodern style.} 7.d5 e6 {Black can also adopt the strategy of the Benko Gambit by playing 7...b5, but I have never really liked that opening and prefer to stick to a King's Indian or Benoni style.} 8.dxe6 {8.Be2 is the normal move. This capture weakens my pawn structure a bit but also gives me useful central pawns, which play a major role in this game.} fxe6 9.Bd3 {I think 9.Be2 would have been a better move.} Nc6 10.O-O Nd4 11.Ng5 e5 12.f5 h6 13.Nh3 {13.fxg6 hxg5 14.Bxg5 Be6 15.Nd5 This looks like a promising sacrificial line, but there is a strong reply. 15...Bxd5 16.exd5 e4 17.Bxe4 Qe7 The three pawns are not sufficient compensation for Black's active piece.} gxf5 14.exf5 b5 15.Be3 bxc4 16.Bxc4+ Kh8 17.Bxd4 cxd4 {These central pawns give Black a big advantage.} 18.Nd5 {Now I need to get the pawns marching forward.} Ba6 19.Nxf6 Bxc4 20.Nh5 Bxf1 21.Qg4 {White has sacrificed the exchange for a small kingside attack.
