It really seems like we'll eventually play g5 anyway.  But starting with d6 is cool.

I'd rather reduce his bishop's options now. If we go g5 he can't go back to his current position. It seems silly to put it off and give him a turn to develop a piece. (Especially since we seem to be of the opinion that we'll probably be doing it anyways.)

Though it exposes our kingside and hurts our castling chances there, I don't like castling kingside in this game since he's already got his other bishop pointed right where we'd be castling to. I'd rather try  to castle Queenside or even leave the king in the middle than castle kingside into a bishop's line of attack.

Eh, but in the greater seem of things, we'll probably end up doing both of them before the game is over. So ummm... ...g5. AHA (next time I make a move I'll do the opposite of what I was arguing for.)

Yeah I think g5 is fine.   I expect to castle queenside and I am fine with the idea of a Bg3 staring at the e5 rock for quite a while.

11...g5 (if 12. Bg3 then 12...d6).

I doubt anyone has objections to d6, right?

That's probably the right move actually. I didn't consider the castling queenside option enough. I feel that it very likely doesn't matter because it would almost certainly transpose.

wait, we're on move 6, not 11...

7...d5 would be cool if the e5 pawn didn't fall :p. So yeah, d6 after Bg3
