Grandmaster Bisguier's Commentary

Black plays to open the e-file, so that he can develop pressure on White's center pawns with a later ... Re8.

3. ... e6 is known as the Modern Benoni, favored by former world champion Mikhail Tal (a brilliant player known for his imaginative attacking genius - to many players, he was the Kasparov of the 1960's).
