Chess related: Problem with the Modern Defence

bernie3 18-Jan-10, 20:01	Problem with the Modern Defence Advice that I have read on strategy in the Modern Defence tells me that White should not be allowed to place a piece on d4 (eg., Nd4) or c4 (eg. Bc4) otherwise my defence will fail. If my Modern Defence starts 1,e4 g6 or 1.e4 d6, how can I possibly prevent 2.Bc4 !!?
