Summary of analysis (author’s novelties are marked by symbol “AN”)

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.Bg5 h6

(The sequence of moves 4…Bb4 5.Nc3 h6 6.Bh4 leads only to rearrangement of moves.)

5.Bh4 Bb4 6.Nc3 dc [6…c5 with unclear position. Other way is 6…g5 7.Bg3 Ne4, where the position is unclear too (including after 8.Nd2!?).] 7.Qa4 Nc6 8. a3 Bc3 9.bc Qd5 10.Bf6 gf 11.Nd2 AN b5 12.Qc2 [with the idea Ne4; with the idea e4] with enough compensation for the material and with initiative.
