I am annotating this game to improve my understanding of this opening. | ||||||

White develops his bishop. He is not afraid of 4. Ng4 because it can be met with Bg5, Bf4 or even Bc1, but not Qd2? https://gameknot.com/analyze-board.pl?bd=x1451338&mv=9&rnd=0.07931648696110405 | ||||||

|
4... c6 |
So black just develops and prepares b7-b5. 4....a6 or 5...a6 is sometimes played to prepare b7-b5 too. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5. f3 |
White now stops Ng4. There are similarities with the Samisch variation against the King's Indian Defence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Indian_Defence,_S%C3%A4misch_Variation | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
5... Nbd7 |

Queen goes to its natural square. | ||||||

6... b5 |
Preparing queen side activity | ||||||
| | |||||||

8... h5 |
Black prevents further advances of the h pawn on the king side. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
9. g5 |
So the g pawn advances instead. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
9... Nfd7 |
The knight remains centrally played. | ||||||
| | |||||||
|
10. d5 |
The most common move. | ||||||
| | |||||||
