Originally posted by SirLoseALotLordoftheChessboard is right though. Fritz is not the right tool to use to analyse an opening position. As it can only look to a certain depth it picks up any combinations that happen before that but all computer programs have a weak point at positional play. I just stated what Fritz thinks.
When fritz says white's a pawn down,that doesn't mean white is actually a pawn down on the board.White could be up a queen,but a pawn down in fritz' assessment.It's just how it shows you what it thinks about the position.

normal KG play.
(although, actually, transposing into the KG after the q-side knights are out is kind of worrisome)
Originally posted by LordOfTheChessboardyou know, I'm not sure about the Bc5 line. I would imagine the simple answer would be d4. It usually is, to an early Bc5 in the KGA. But I don't have the position in front of me, and I usually don't play the 3. Bc4, so I'm not completely certain.
