He took up where Shirov blazed the trail some twenty years ago, and ever since the Azeri star has been the main driving force behind the development of this line.} c5 {Transposing to a Snake Benoni is one of many options available for Black.

Qxa8 Nc6 14. Qxf8+ Kxf8 15. Bxd6+ Kg8 16. O-O-O Na5 {with extra-sharp play.
