One move a day (3)

Bg7... very interesting position, and I've seen some in my time playing.

I like Bg7.

We also have the posibility 8.....c5 9.Qf3 Qc7 10.Qf7+ Kd8. Will black survieve after that manouver ?

Qf3...force black to play Rf8 giving up his castling rights and cramping his position even more than it already is.

Agreed. Qf3 to squeeze the kingside. All other minor pieces for black are boxed in the other side too. I also think black should respond with Bf6.

Rook to f8 can be answered with Qh3, and black will be worse.

black can play bishop f6 unless I am missing something, if Qf3.

On second look,

I'm thinking if

1. Qf3 Bf6 2. Bxg5 o-o is best for black.

If.
1. Qf3 Rf8 2. Qh3 and follows with Bd3, black would be facing a dangerous attack on the g6 pawn.

Qf3 seems alright... Bf6 Bxg5 0-0 is fairly equal on attacking front (although Black is squeezed)...

I kind of like h4, developing the attack on the kingside and with the queenside for Black being strangled...

1. Qf3 Bf6 2. Bxg5 Rf8 3 Bh6 seems kind of ugly for black for me. Black will be forced to move the rook anyways (giving up castling rights), and will give up a tempo allowing white to develop another piece (the bishop).
