My advice: If you have a choice between two lines and your opponent has written a book on one of them, choose the line on which he has not written a book!

the quesstion is if you should exchange at all the dark squared B after h6 or if you should use it for an attack against h6 - or at least for pressurizing it - like B to f4 and Queen to e3 - and try to exchange the light squared B instead

I play since three years chess - since two years in a chess club in Berlin - with progressive sucess :-) I would like to play a game like this with you without comp or databases of course - reminds me a bit on Silmans approaches - nice vid - very instructive

@SuperShakespeare

You may have a point and I did have the thought myself;

Perhaps the reason why h6 was never played is that now the dark squared bishop has a target.
