11... e8g8 | An interesting position resulted from Black's experiment in the opening. By exchanging two pairs of minor pieces, Black's position is less constrained than normal in queen's pawn positions. However, it's important to note that White has an extra pawn in the center (d4 and e2 versus d5), which is a strategic advantage that can become considerable if the c4 or e4 move arrives at the right time. Overall, it can be said that the position is close to equality, but accurate play is still required on Black's part. | 1. d2d4 1... g8f6 2. c2c4 2... e7e6 3. g2g3 3... d7d5 4. f1g2 4... b8c6 5. g1f3 5... a8b8 A very rare move.

Perhaps it would even be better to play the other possible plan, which is to advance the pawn to e4, either now or after 13.Qa4. 13... c8e6 The bishop is developed while keeping an eye on c3-c4. 14. d1a4 14... a7a6 15. e3e4 15... c7c5 Played after lengthy deliberation, but this leads to trouble. 16. a4a3 An unpleasant reply. 16... b7b6 17. a1b1 White decides to make an improving move before capturing on c5, since Black cannot take on d4. But it's not clear whether 17.Rab1 is the most useful move. 17... f8e8 18. d4c5 |
