1 e4 c5 2 d4 cd 3 c3 d6! (This move, discovered in the late 70's, allows Black to play the game without suffering the indignities of the gambit!) 4 cd Nf6 5 Nc3 g6 6 Bd3?! (Not generally recommended) 6...Bg7 7 h3 0-0 8 Nf3 Nc6 9 0-0 Qa5 10 Be3 e5! 11 d5 Ne7 12 Rc Nh5 13 Nd2 f5 14 ef Bf5 15 Bf5 Nf5 16 g4 Ne3 17 ef Rf1-/+ 18 Qf1 Nf6!
