are not similar and in fact the same postion with an extra move (f5) ???
oh well, you're right. I normally play the f5 and Qd7 setup, and fight for the defense of g2 pawn like I'm fighting for my life, so I automatically assumed f5 was with the idea of opening up queen's defense. But I hadn't check the game continuation. very sleepy today. sorry.
