1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.g3 Nge7
Russian GM Alexander Morozevich is credited with making this move popular, his idea being to round up the e5 pawn, but it was played as long ago as 1905 by Austria's Carl Schlecter.
6.Bg2 Ng6 7.0-0 Bf5?
Overwhelmingly most popular is 7...Ngxe5, but the text has been the choice of at least one 2300+ player.
8.e3
Nevertheless, 7...Bf5? is definitely a mistake, as is shown by the reply in my game, and by 8.Qb3, one point being that 8...Qd7 fails to 9.Qxb7 Rb8 10.Nxd4!
8...d3 9.Nc3
9.Qb3 was still strong, but the text is natural and is not bad.
9...Qd7

10...Bg4 11.Qe1?The position has suddenly become tricky for White. Maybe he should have got on with development by playing 11.Be3, but Black has promising compensation after 11...h5, a kingside attack being one of the main ideas of a quick ...Bf5 and ...Qd7.11...Ngxe5Stockfish9 much prefers 11...Bxf3 12.Bxf3 Ncxe5.12.Nd2??12.Nxe5 is unclear, but after the text, Black is winning.12...Nd4 13.f3 Bc5 14.Kh1 Nc2 15.Qd1 Ne3 0-1 (25 moves).
