Foxy 47 - Sidestep As played by Nigel Short against Gary Kasparov - 1.d4 d6 2.Nf3 Bg4 is a relatively new system with some high-class adherants. Completely sound, it leads to dynamic and unbalanced middlegames. The defence has the considerable merit of sidestepping standard theory, and is a favourite of Anand and Speelman. GM James Plaskett analyses Black's best plans against all possible White set-ups. |
