His choice here is 4.d3 – the move today's elite prefer. It won't promise an advantage out of the opening, but it produces a rich, closed-Lopez-style middlegame full of pieces and play, ideal for outplaying strong opposition. Little theory to memorize; plans and manoeuvres instead, including attacking schemes where White leaves the king in the centre and storms the kingside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWatch the free video sample:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/6a708fd4b024956ad15e25c4\"\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eand the free video sample:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.chessbase.com\/perma\/c\/6a708fd4b024956ad15e25ca\"\u003eTwo Knights Defence\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"DivDescription\" class=\"col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Against the rock-solid Petroff, Andrew hands you a surprise: the offbeat 5.Bd3, an idea borrowed from Morozevich that leads to fresh, unusual positions your opponent almost certainly hasn't prepared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThen there's the rogues' gallery – Elephant, Latvian, Stafford, Copycat Trap – refuted one by one, taking all the fun out of it for your opponent.
