Note by A. Albin.
- 1.Nf3 It is better not to be in too much hurry to advance this Pawn.
- 4…b6 Proceeding on safe lines, another course is to develop the Queen's Pieces to make use of the Queen's Bishop's file and, if possible, to prevent Black's P to Q B 4.
- 6.O-O Contemplating Kt to K 5 and possibly Q Kt to B 3. Also supporting the advance of the Queen's Bishop's Pawn.
- 8…Nbd7 Modern ideas are leaning towards the exchange of these centre Pawns in such positions.
- 10.cxd5 Kt X P avoids the isolation of the Pawn and keeps the Bishop diagonal open. There are also possibilities at B 6 and perhaps at Kt5. The text move, on the other hand, will support the K Kt at K 5 presently, and it keeps out the adverse Knight for a time.—Ed.]
