The Close Variation (aka. Strongpoint Def.)
White's QBP planned a 5.P-Q4..PxP, 6.PxP exchange.
Black's Queen develops to its natural middlegame position, supporting a strongpoint K4(e5) to hold the centre and avoid a P exchange. Some close (ie. 4..Kt-B3 rejected) moves are interchangeable. B-Alt.

 1.	P-K4	P-K4
