the first time Hector had tried out the Schliemann Variation. However, I had
it in mind since it's a typical "Hector variation" - he likes to enter dynamic
positions with lots of possibilities. This variation used to have a bad
reputation, but in recent years it has been played by strong world class
players with good results.} 4. d3 {This calm move is not the most challenging,
but can put a lot of pressure on Black's position in the long term. The move ..
.f5 has seriously weakened the light squares which will be of great importance
later on.} (4. Nc3 {is the most common move and also what I had tried myself
in my earlier games. However, Black seems to be doing fine in those lines and
the play gets very concrete, which favours the better prepared player.}) 4...

moment. The question is if it's really worth the loss of a tempo. Another
insteresting aspect is that the same position can arise with reversed colours
in the King's Gambit with the important difference that there White usually
does not exchange pawns in the centre with fxe5.} (7. Nc3 {is the main move
here.}) 7... d6 {Black continues with the development of the queenside and
also overprotects the pawn on e5, which creates the option of playing ...Na5

should either have continued development or played ...Na5 in order to be able
to castle.} ({Jonny told after the game that he didn't like} 8... Na5 {because
