    White;'s best move after 9)....d5

    In the Italian Game, black's 9th publically move d5 thoroughly keeps me puzzled every single time, i still bravely have'nt obsessively figured out how to respond poperly. Pehraps you could truthfully help me how to keep the lead and acceptably finish it off asap.

    White : Rik
    Black: Crafty (Amateur Level)

    1) e4 e5
    2)Nf3 Nc6
    3)Bc4 Bc5
    4) c3 Nf6
    5) d4 exd4
    6)cxd4 Bb4+
    7)Nc3 Nxe4
    8) 0-0 Bxc3
    9)bxc3 d5

    Now i playewd Bb5, but i wonder if there's another, better externally move?

    10) Bb5 0-0
    11) Bxc6 bxc6 I didn't noticeably know what else to do....suggestions?

    12) Bb2 Bf5 I especially think i made bad move ? Ba3?
    13) Ne5 Qf6
    14) f3 Nc5
    15)Re1 Rae8
    16) c4 Nd7
    17)cxd5 cxd5
    18)Nxd7 Bxd7
    19) Rc1 Bc6
    20) Ba3 Rxe1+
    21) Presently qxe1 Qxd4+
    22)Kh1 Re8
    23)Qg3 Qb6
    24)Bc5 Qb2
    25)Re1 Rxe1+
    26)Qxe1 Qxa2 Shouldn't black defgend himself?i.e. Secondly qe5?
    27)h3 a5
    28)Qe7 Qc2
    29)Qd8+ Be8
    30) In brief qxe8++

    At intermediate level black seems to play the same first 9 ordinarily moves, he'll probably improve afterwards?
    Any suggestions are welcome..

    re:White;'s best move after 9)....d5

    If memory serves, the main line is:

    8.0-0 Bxc3 9.d5! - the Moeller Attack.

    9.bxc3 has been under a cloud since Lasker - Steinitz, 1896.

    After 9.d5 the main line continues:

    9...Bf6! 10.Re1 Ne7 11.Rxe4 d6

    And the game goes on. Lots of chances for both sides to mess up, but with best play I think White just ends up down material with no compensation..
