King's Pawn Opening
THE MODERN (or ROBATSCH) DEFENCE
Black plans to contest the centre by indirect play.
White advances his Queen's Pawn for a classical centre with total (temp.) control of QB5-KB5(c5-f5), and frees his QB for a potential B-KKt5(g5) pin upon any ..Kt-KB3. Black is now sure to complete a ..B-Kt2 fianchetto before KKt deployment. Note White's interchangeable 1st/2nd moves. W-Alt.
     White  Black
 1.  P-K4   P-KKt3
 2.  P-Q4	   Alt. 2W,1W route
BLACK to Move or Undo or Jump or Clear
