6. ... Bb4-e7 Full Game Score ... Previous Move ... Next Move |
This retreat is well-motivated - the Bd2, although a development move, actually interferes with the harmony of White's pieces (the bishop really belongs on the a1-h8 diagonal). This idea (of ... Bb4+ and ... Be7) appears in other openings (like the Dutch Defense 1. d4 f5). |
