Just an update on my previous note...
Spoiler here>> I had a wee think about the J.Grant-C.McNab game while preparing my lunch and I think it must have continued something like 9...Nge7 10.0-0 0-0 11. d4 exd4 12. Nxd4 a6 (to prepare ...c5 followed by ...b5 without allowing Nb5) 13. Be3 c5 14. Nxe6 Bxe6 then possibly 15. b3!? (offering the exchange) when John recommended instead 15. Rc1!?
I'm sure someone will post the actual game and I will see it when my game with Clement is over : )
Anyway, I guess I should concentrate on the move I've actually played. <<Spoiler here
