1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nc6 5. Nc3 Qc7 6. Ndb5

6.. Qb8 7. Be3 a6 8. Bb6 !?
Black has to take it and defend.
8..axb5 9. Nxb5
-First idea 9...Ra5 10.Nc7+ Ke7 11.Qf3! Re5 12.Qa3+ d6 13.0–0–0 f6 14.Qa4.
The queen in  this variation goes to f3 and then a3 with pressure on a3-f8 diagonal.
-The second idea is 9..Bb4+ followed by Ba5 to indirectly cover c7.
lets look at this line.

9.. Bb4+ 10. c3 Ba5 11. Nc7+


11..Qxc7 12. Bxc7 Bxc7 13. g3 Nf6 14. Bg2 O-O
