I deleted the following If white plays 8 0 0 or 8 f3 black can win a pawn For example 8 0 0 Nxe4 9 Nxe4 d5 or 8 f3 Qb6 After 8 Bb3 black can try to put pressure on the defenders of d5 because it s completely crap After 8 0 0 8 Nxe4 is the best move but as it was correctly seen by others that s not winning a pawn in any line it s just an equalizer Regarding 8 f3 the article is a little bit less wrong 8 f3 is bad for white after 8 Qb6 but still not losing a pawn by force And the sentence regarding pressure on the defenders of d5 does not make any sense at all Of course d5 is an important square in all dragon systems But you don t put pressure on the Nc3 or the Bb3 Sometimes rarely in the line that we see here you kick it away with b7 b5 b4 if white permits that Sometimes you sacrifice the exchange with Rxc3 But you never put pressure on it you don t put pressure on minor and major pieces in general unless they are in a bind or otherwise immobilized
