4... c5 |
A gambit move, He is forced to capture or cxd4, hanging the pinned knight. I don't actually plan on re-capturing the pawn with my Bishop, as I would lose the Knight pin. He will be left with doubled pawns that I can eventually recapture with a development lead. | |||||

In case he decided to advance his pawns on the queenside, making it harder for him to do so. This follows an important rule, if your opponent has little counterplay on the side your attacking, make sure he can't advance on another side before continuing your attack. | |||||
