e5
2.Nf3
Nc6
3.Bb5
a6
4.Bxc6

5.Nc3
Bd6
This is not so good as either 5...f6, 5...Bc5, 5...Bb4, or 5...Qf6 6.d4
exd4
7.Qxd4
f6
This seems forced, but a possible alternative is 7...Qf6 8.e5 Qe7 9.0-0 Bc5 8.0-0
Bg4
This permits the Whitaker Trap to develop. It is, at any rate, a natural move, and Whitaker has sprung this trap on quite a number of opponents. 9.e5
Bxf3
10.exd6
Bh5
Less disadvantageous is 10...Bd5 11.Re1+
Kf7
[ 11...Kd7
12.dxc7+
Kxc7
13.Bf4+

14.Qc5
