Lesson steps

Main line

Branch

Common mistake

Trap / motif

If you play White

Pick a branch by style: the f4 attack, Bc4 pressure on f7, or the g3 fianchetto; the Nd5 jump is a recurring idea.

Plans

  • f4 with e5 and an f-file attack
  • Bc4 pressure on f7
  • g3 bishop on the long diagonal
  • A strong knight on the d5 outpost

Core idea

2.Nc3 is flexible: prepare the f4 gambit or quiet Bc4/g3 play; Black should strike with ...d5.
