A Calculation Challenge

A chess challenge of sorts. Here are the opening moves of a game between two grandmasters taken from a book on chess calculation. Black is to move. Try to find the move black made.......it leads to an amazing game. Suggest your move to me here and if it's correct, I'll email the rest of the game before posting it here next week.

The more people who play, the larger the winnings pot will be. If there are enough people playing down the road, I'd like to run the prizes to 5th place.

Thanks!
