1. e4 c5 2. d3 Nc6 3. Bd2

Nc3 is better, or even f4.

3... b5

Nf6 or e6 are superior moves. Also 3...e5 follewed by

d6,Nf6,g6,Bg7 and 0-0 is another excellent set up. It is

Important to play in the center first.

4. c3 b4 5. c4 Nd4

g6! is far better, Increase your control over d4 and develop

another piece at the same time, there was no reason to occupy

the hole on d4( no pawns can oppose d4).

6. Be3 g6 7. Bxd4 cxd4 8. Qd2 a5 9. Nf3 Bg7 10. Ng5 Bh6

It is better to complete your development with d6 and Nf6.

The bishop has aready moved and was placed rather well where it was at.

The black knight has finally found a nice hole to hop in to,

even if it is only for a move.Black trades one advantage for

another, the two connected passed pawns.
