NOTES
1. 9.h3 has been rightly condemned by the author as weakening the kingside castled position. Guess Fritz 6 positional understanding still has some way to go (or maybe default settings need tweaking).
2. I prefer the author’s suggestion of 13.Be3 instead of 13.Nd2.

NOTES:
The author seems to missed the strong white tactical resource on move 13 (13.Bxf7) and 18 (18.Bxf7). In both cases, if Black gets greedy and took the Bishop, there will be still lots of struggles left...
