Round 1 Quick Note: After 8. ... d5 black is already slighty better. White makes it much worse trading off all the knights and getting black's queen into the game. 7. f3? is the real error, instead 7. Bc4 is fine, and black's best is to transpose back into the main lines of the Yugoslav attack. (It is possible to avoid the yugoslav by either ...a5 or ...Qa5, but in both cases I think black gets inferior positions, of course he avoids all the theory this way as well). 12. ... Be6 is also very good, white is deep trouble after either move. I think there was a nice game black won with a Queen sac after Bf5 I saw in a Scholar's Mate once, and was hoping I could recreate that game somehow, but I don't remember how it went : /
