6. ... Bf8-d6 Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move |
Black develops his Bishop to its most active square, aiming in many variations for a possible ....e5 (e.g. if White played 7. Bd3, then 7. ... dxc4 8. Bxc4 e5). Instead, if Black played dxc4, aiming for the Meran, he loses a tempo, since has not yet played Bd3. |
