    In result we see a Sicilian position"hedgehog" type with exchange of one pairof knights. Perhaps, this nuance can be

    entered as an asset of the black - pieceswill not "bother" and would be easier todevelop the pressure on the line "c". Blackcan be quite pleased with the results of thedebut. 12.Be3 00 13.a4 Too optimistic.White did not manage to perform the wingcoup, therefore, should take a course onsolidity, placing the pieces at the center...13...Nd7 14.Bg2 Ne5 15.Red1 Rc816.Qb4 Nc4
