An idea for the c3 modern from Leela
They've been playing a bunch of moderns in the TCEC lately and this one caught my eye. Maybe interesting if you care about the Nf3/Bd3/c3 modern setups.

1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nf3 d6 4.Be3 (Anti Modern)
Hi.
The move order: 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nf3 d6 4.Be3 Appears to cause some problems for the Modern player. There is an option of going for the Pirc with 4...Nf6 and 95% of the time we would get 5.Nc... Started 02/10/20 at 20:43:03 by Confused_by_Theory « Pages 1 2 all » |
