9. Bxd7+

I feel a very strong lack of queens coming on. I kinda wonder if people go for queen trades early with me intentionally these days.. granted, it's a good strategy. I've always felt like I don't play as well in the midgame without one. It's probably the biggest weakness in my game, so I take the opportunity to get better at not having her 10-20 moves in.

If 9 ...Qxd7 then you can go ahead and play 10. Qxd7+ for me and make your next move, obviously.

ugh. I don't even feel very good about that move now.

but it's posted so I'll stick with it.

if ...12 e6 then 13. dxe6

Otherwise I'll have to think about shit, which seems to be my weak spot lately
