C77. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.d3 #In this system, White normally delays castling and central action to place his pieces onto their optimal squares. If Black is not alert, White's concentration of pieces (usually, Ng3 and g2-f4 or h2-h4 with Bb3) on the Kingside can get dangerous. d6 6.c3 g6! Since White can reroute his Queen Knight to g3 via f1 without losing a move on Rf1-e1, Black can also gain a move by playing Bg7 without the usual Re8, Bf8, Bg7. 7.Nbd2 Bg7 8.Nf1 O-O 9.Ng3
[9.h4!? is a suggestion of Fischer.]
