deFirmian is never afraid! Needing only a draw to win the match, he
cannot resist this hyper-aggressive treatment! But since White will castle on
the queenside, he has not burned that many bridges. Moreover, the move is
highly positional - after 7 ... O-O White will probably settle down with 8
Bg2, with a much better square than on d3 as in Game 2. Also, if Black wants
to fianchetto his queen bishop, he will have to do it soon, before the White
bishop rules the long light-squared diagonal.
