(Queen's Pawn Opening)
THE MODERN (or ROBATSCH) DEFENCE
Black is planning a fianchetto to contest the centre more indirectly than by straightforward pawn play.
White advances his King's Pawn for a classical centre with total control of QB5-KB5(c5-f5), and frees his other (king's) bishop. Note White's interchangeable first/second moves. W-Alt.
