Re 5. d5 in Rapport-Markus (April KID update)
(historical notes)
After 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 3. Nc3 Nbd7 4. e4 e5, I see (in the non-subscriber material) that Nigel Davies indicates 5. d5 as the "main problem"/"key issue" with Black's move orde... Started 04/20/24 at 17:45:07 by kylemeister |

Lifetime Rep: KID #1

4…d6 vs. 4…0-0
After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 does it matter if Black plays 4…0-0 instead of 4…d6? I’ve heard that 4…0-0 5.e5 isn’t good for White, so I’m wondering if there are any lines White can try where ...
