If 15.Qd4 Bh6+ followed by Ng4 and Black either wins the bishop pair or plays e5, when Black has a strong center.

This 12.Qc4, d6! pawn sac is an interesting line in the Accelerated Dragon 7. Nxc6 / 8.e5 variation! But what would you recommend if Black instead of 12.Qc4 goes for 12.0-0-0 and after 12…0-0 plays the aggressive 13.h4 line?

Best
Dietmar
