Thanks for another very good video!
9.Bd2 is a sideline. Against Be3 the main line Dennis Monokroussos recommends in one of the viewer question videos the interesting 9...b6! with the idea 10. d4 d5

I play the Sicilian Closed as white and 9. Bd2 seems very strange. I'm used to play 9. Be3 Nd4 10. e5 and the position gets very complex.

Nice video. Most of today’s players don’t appreciate how good Larsen was. From mid-1967 through early 1968 he won 5 tournaments in a row and GM Alex Yermolinsky ranks Larsen’s book of his best games alongside Fischer’s. He was admired in his day for his originality, especially in the openings.

And feared for his endgame skills, one could easily add.
