Previous Next

A tempting idea here for White is to play 7 Nc3 d4 8 Ne2 and then follow up with c2-c3. After 7 Nc3, 7...Nb6 seems weak because of 8 d4. (Have a question? Ask GM Rohde! Not all questions can be answered, but the Grandmaster will pick selected topics to cover live from e-mail received.)
