Changing from Game 2, where deFirmian played 6 Nf3, and Benjamin was
able to show the vitality of the system 6 ... e6. After Black placed his c6
knight on e7, White could not figure out an advantageous way to move forward
in the center. In that game, deFirmian continued with 7 h3. The question here
is whether 6 h3 is meant as a confusing transposition, or whether it is part
of a plan specifically directed against the ... e7-e6 idea?
