4.Kd3? Thematic try. The downside of the move is that the «d3» square is no longer available for wNd1, to protect wpf4 and «e5» square. 4…Bxg1 5.g6+ (5.Bg3 Nc6 6.Ne3 Na5 7.Nc2 Nb3=) 5…Nxg6 6.hxg6+ Kxg6 7.Bd8! e5! 8.fxe5 Kf7! 9.Bc7 (9.Nc3 Bh2!

8.Nd3 Now «d3» square is vacant, unlike the line with 4.Kd3? 8…Kh5 9.Bf2!
