Khalifman almost offhandedly dismissed this (by quoting a game from 1906?!) and saying white is better,it doesn't look like it to me and I can't find any effective antidote apart from steering into a Giuco Piano which I dont want to do
1.e4 e5
2.Nf3 Bc5!
3.Nxe5 Nc6
4.Nf3 (nxc6 doesn't seem any better)Q e7
5.Nc3 Nf6 (there's huge pressure down the efile)
6.d4 Nxe4
7.Nxe4 Qxe4+
8.Be3 Nb4!
9.dxc5 Nxc2+
10.Kd2 Nxa1
11.Qxa1
dont like the look of this at all ,it doesn't look better for white in my opinion..............anyone seen this before,any thoughts?

I would still rather be white, 2 powerful bishops and black, who is already tempi down will have to use more moves securing safe squares for both king and queen

Originally posted by yelobNever seen it before, but I think I'd give back the pawn with 5.Be2 Qxe4 6. O-O and be happy with a lead in development, whereas black's king and queen are on the open e-file.
