I think I choose 8.Be2.
I coulddn't find a better place for the bishop. And I want to keep that black knight on c6 a bit longer. Maybe Bd3 is better, but I'm not sure how to proceed if the engine plays Nb4.
My vote is 8.Be2
8. Nb5 jumps out at me. Forcing Bd6 and accepting doubled pawns. The computer does get the open c file and good outposts. The more restrained Bd3 to develop before undertaking action is most likely better.
I vote 8. Bd3.
Todo_pro: I suggest that when the computer makes a move, you and only you provide a link to the new position.
Jonesmh, JohnTitor48 and ChessInstinct are already providindg the link. They are doing a good job. Why does it have to be me?
I think Nc6 by the engine was an innaccuracy.
8. a3
prevents knight being pinned
todo_pro: You provide the computer move update. It is logical that you provide the update of the position. By many links at every move, I assume that that many moves have passed. I just want one link per move, it doesn't have to be you.
ok, jonesmh. I thought the game is the same no matter the link.
I think its more useful to have at least a link per page so one doesnt have to go back pages to find the link :D
