...is that some strong amateurs don't know about moves like 7...Nb6! It's annoying for the horsie on d5 not to have a buddy on c3 to trade lives with, and Black has to worry about White grabbing the center with tempo.
Incidentally, please let us know what you think of the various versions of this viewer.

Correct was 6...Nb6! (before castling) 7.Nc3 Nc6! forcing 8.e3 (8.d5? Bxc3+!) as in Chow-Kudrin, Colias Memorial 2013. 7...Bf5 is horrible. So is this viewer. Go back to the regular viewer that you (and I) have been using forever.
And what's with 11...f6? If you want to trade off your bishop pair, go right ahead: 11...Bf6! 12.Bh6 Bg7!
The viewer is customizable: what don't you like?
I'm test-driving it because USCF is considering this viewer for its forums. I like the way it renders in-game annotations, and it has better support for Informant-style symbols.
11.Bg5 was a bit of a bluff, wasn't it? I was going back to d2.
White's formation in Chow-Kudrin is trendily modest: compare the Schmakel game below.
Regarding the viewer: I like the functionality just fine. Which one is it? Is it "flash free"? Am wondering if the colors, text fonts and chess fonts are customizable. I'm not in love with the appearance...
Check out pgn4web. The board widget generator is explained here, and I have not really played with it....

Well, that's responsive!
