My Dear Chess Friends
I am badly in need of a little time off from chess.
500 moves a day has taken it's toll on me mentally and physically.
tomtom232 has agreed to take over this thread for the time being.
I am contacting PAWN RIOT that he will be in charge.
Thanks

Well, since I am in charge it appears as if 8...Nc6 is the move to be played.

Nobody answered about whether or not black has reached a similar position as the hyper-modern defense here...

I'm assuming you mean just the Modern Defense, 1...g6. In that case, it's somewhat doubtful that you'd reach exactly this postion, but it is possible to reach a position with similar pawn structures, for instance:

1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 4. Be3 a6 5. Qd2 Nd7, when Black will play ...c5 next move, and if allowed, ...cxd4.

Nc6

Nc6 for me too - o-o can get a bit messy if white wants to be a hacker and play something like g4 immediately (although with a team of us working on it, he might not end up crushing us)

We played 7... 0-0 8.Qd2 Nc6 and now I am waiting for his reply.
