This is a continuation of Thread 102175.
PAWN RIOT has just submitted 7.f3, leading to the following position.
That was the next move in the Yugoslav Attack. 🙂
There are really two main moves here, although others are possible.
7. ... 0-0 (The Most Common)
And
7. ... Nc6 (Delaying Castling On Purpose- Although Castling Eventually Follows Most Of The Time)
Other moves are certainly possible.
I will vote later.

I fear a player as good as PAWNRIOT will take this dodgy opening out easily.
P.S. There is a good reason for why I suggest 7...Nc6 as Black has found it hard work in the 9.0-0-0 lines and Tiviakov himself (one of the worlds best Drogon players) has been delaying castling until White plays Bc4. After looking at these lines I would say it is more prudent to delay castling to deny White this option.

Originally posted by Ulysses72This decision is almost completely moot. It's pretty much 100% guaranteed that ...Nc6 and ...0-0 will lead to the same position. If it was up to me I'd play out both moves without asking anyone. 😀
Since we chose the Yugoslav as our best chance against PAWNRIOT I would like to vote Nc6. Maybe we must shuffle the deck a little bit. After all Kingside castling will come next. We have elected "sharp" play - let us go sharp!
