Sorry, you need a Java enabled browser to view this Bushka problem!

In the final position white clearly has tempo problems which, if he wants to move 5e13, should make him reconsider his fast pace. Meanwhile, 7. ...eg9 threatens the same combination as on 7.h57 and 7.h67 in a slightly different form, and white's phalanx on the 5-line is not out of the woods either. A very interesting position, but not deeply investigated yet.
