Answers.Text: But oddly enough, in the Richter-Rauzer (5...Nc6 instead of 5...a6), 7.Qd2 is the main line by far. There must a simply reason why, but I can't think of it right now.

Answers.Text: Probably Ndb5 after 7…h6 8.Bxf6 Qxf6 . Seems to me like d6 falls. So black can't take back with the queen.

Answers.Text: Perhaps the difference is that after h6, white is more happy to exchange the bishop on f6. If 7. .. h6 8. Bxf6 Qxf6 9 Ndb5 looks good for white.
