Notes by Nazar Ernazarov

E17. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.g3 Bb7 5.Bg2 Be7 6.O-O O-O 7.d5!? exd5 8.Nh4 Polugaevsky's move. I had played 8.Nd4 before but 8...Bc6 equalises.
	[8.Nd4 is the old move in this variation. The disadvantage is that there is no pressure on d5, Bc6! Black has a sound position.
		(8...c6!? is also playable but will probably transpose to 8.Nh4.)]
