What's the game plan for White?
* Restrict Black's game in the center by
adopting the d4-e5 pawn formation.
* Attack Black's kingside by placing the
Queen on g4. The g7 pawn is the prime
target.
* Respond accordingly to Black's counter-
play in the center and on the queenside.
What's the game plan for Black?
* Mobilize the g8 knight to e7 in preparation
for the Queen invasion on g7.
* Pressurize White's d4 pawn beginning with
... c5 followed by ... Nc6. The idea is to attack
the d4-e5 pawn formation at its base, thus
weakening White's central grip.
* Activate the Queen to a4 via the a5-d8
diagonal. From that square, she can help
pressurize White's d4 and c2.

3 Nc3
Since the e4 pawn was threatened by 3 ... dxe4,
the knight comes out to protect it.
3 ... Bb4
A pinning move that renews the threat of
4 ... dxe4. However, the bishop's kingside
absence leaves the g7 pawn open to attack.
4 e5
The pawn evades capture by gaining space
and cramping Black's game. Thanks to this
advance, White now has some say on Black's
d6 and f6 squares.

White immediately attends to the pin on c3
before Black exploits it for his d4 offensive.

6 ... cxd4
6 ... c4
7 Qg4
Taking advantage of the weakened g7 pawn.
7 Nf3
7 ... Nge7
Kingside mobilization at the expense of two pawns.
If 7 ... g6, White has 8 Nf3, with h4 in mind.
7 ... g6
8 Qxg7
8 ... Rg8
The rook can now exploit the half open g-file for
counterplay against White's kingside.
9 Qxh7
9 ... cxd4
10 cxd4
10 f4
10 ... Nxd4
Black strikes back in the center!

Promptly questioning the knight's menacing
d4 presence.
11 ... Qa5+
En route to a4, at the White King's expense.
11 ... Nef5
12 Bd2
12 ... Qa4
Preventing White from capturing the knight
on d4 and threatening 13 ... Nxc2+
13 Rc1
So that Black doesn't play 13 ... Nxc2+.
13 ... Bd7
Envious of b5, where it can fire down at White's Queen.
14 Ne2
The knight on d4 is now doubly assailed, so Black trades
it off with:
14 ... Nxe2
15 Bxe2
15 ... Rxg2
Thus, Black gets his second pawn back.
