| Since the only way for White to make headway is to advance in the center, he does so immediately. White's straightforward development makes d4-d5 and e4-e5 the only options at this point. Of course, d4-d5, not hitting a knight, would not be good right now. (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.) |   |
