Position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN)
Moves: 1. e4 b6 2. d4 Bb7 3. Bd3 Nf6

This continues pressuring on e4. White adds a defender; most likely 4. Qe2, 4. Nd2 or 4. f3.

  • Nd2 defends the pawn and solidifies the white center -- it also allows Black to create a center of his own. Position is nearly equal.
  • f3 leads to Nc6, pressuring the d4 pawn. This leads to a huge amount of central tension.
