The bishop on g7 ties down white's queenside development (sometimes in conjunction with Qb6). I think if white plays d4 this pawn should be poked with ... c5 (before black plays d6 so that dxc5 can be recaptured with the queen).<BR/><BR/>I don't really know enough about it to recommend, but if you're looking for something against 1. e4 where you can learn some structures, you might enjoy a few games with that.Loomishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256742331773514858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-34940866191146690062007-12-05T15:49:00.000+01:002007-12-05T15:49:00.000+01:00Gorckat,this way of thinking is pretty new for me ...Gorckat,<BR/>this way of thinking is pretty new for me too. If you can find the logic behind the moves there is no need anymore to learn opening variations by heart. As Botwinnik said to Kasparov: you must become the master of the variations in stead of the other way around.<BR/><BR/>The Polar Bear is ideally suited for this kind of openingstudy since it is so less volatile as for instance the KG.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-79829013270024687982007-12-05T15:25:00.000+01:002007-12-05T15:25:00.000+01:00you were probably using c6 just as an example of t...you were probably using c6 just as an example of the way of thinking, but I'd like to mention that holding the Nc3 at bay is only a tiny aspect of why c6 is good. the bigger points are restricting the Bg2, defending b7 & Ra8 so that you can move the Bc8 away if/when the annoying enemy knight lands on e6 forking your Q+R, or to develop it into the midst of a raging kingside pawn storm, or to push e4 in certain situations (quite often). c6 is the cornerstone which holds the queenside together to facilitate all that.wormwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660805360182226665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-71796297240440365342007-12-05T14:46:00.000+01:002007-12-05T14:46:00.000+01:00If you look for instance at c6 in the position abo...<I>If you look for instance at c6 in the position above, than you will see that it is only of use if there is a white knight on c3 which mobility it can restrict. If the white knight is developed to d2, c6 is rendered useless, only preventing Nc6 for black.</I><BR/><BR/>Wow.
