Nf3 Nf6 I'm ready to play a King's Indian . I opened the game with the Fianchetto Variation of the Queen's Gambit Declined and black quickly gave me the opportunity to give him an isolated pawn, which I was happy to take. Tom Wiley on board 2 faced the Queen's gambit accepted from Stefan Bruynooghe (2072) with a somewhat unusual development of Black's bishop to d6. Tom opened up the centre and his superior development was converted into a decisive material advantage making use of a nice cross-pin. After 4Nc6 5.Bb2 Bg4 Black is equal. - A poor relative of the Catalan. Black can a) 4.dxc5 - This is an attempt to play the Queen's Gambit accepted a tempo up but 4e6 probably gives theoretical equality. By deviating at this early point White makes sure that the game will be played on his homeground. Nf3 I personally play Nf6 and leave almost all options open (except the Dutch Defense) but again, d5-e6 is a universal prescription, if you're not afraid to play the Black side of the Queen's Gambit. As a response to the Reti anyway. Rather, he points out a general principle in the Queen's Gambit: Black delays capturing the offered pawn until it gains a tempo. B) 4.b3 - This is not White's most promising variation of the Colle Zukertort. Chernev finds no flaw in opening the d-file while White's rook eyes Black's queen along it. Nf6, so this is the classical starting position for the Queen's Pawn Openings. This is my preferred method of meeting it, but one also has to know the Black side of the Catalan fairly well so as not to get caught up in positions you do not know. On board 4, Frank Hoffmeister outplayed Johann VandenBusssche (1887) with White in a Catalan set-up.
