GIUOCO PIANO (Close Line)
The Strongpoint Defence

White's QBP planned a 5.P-Q4..PxP, 6.PxP exchange.
Black retreats his Bishop to QKt3(b6), playing to maintain the centre with a strong K4(e5) and avoid a P exchange. In the Close Line (ie. not the open 4..Kt-B3) some moves are interchangeable. B-Alt.
	White	Black
 1.	P-K4	P-K4
 2.	Kt-KB3	Kt-QB3
 3.	B-B4	B-B4
 4.	P-B3	B-Kt3
