Frederiksberg Variation
[edit | edit source]4...f5
[edit | edit source]Black 'sacrifices' the f5 pawn, although it can't actually be taken, because of 5...Nd4. White's queen is stuck in the center and is a target for Black's knights, bishops and pawns. Black can sometimes play f4, with the idea of moving the d pawn, Nf6, and then Bg4, trapping the queen.
White will have to play very carefully to not end up dead lost.
