2019年8月26日 · I am having trouble understanding a move studied in an opening book. The move is Bg4 in the Pirc defence in this position. What is the point of aiming to exchange the bishop on f3? The point d4 does not seem to be the reason.

The Grünfeld Defence is a chess opening characterised by the moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5. Black offers White the possibility of 4.cxd5, which may be followed by 4...Nxd5 and 5.e4, giving White an imposing central pawn duo.

I’ve been playing a lot of caro-kann recently but suck at the exchange variation. I don’t quite understand how Bg4 is an okay move, since I was under the impression that they can just push their pawn on f2, forcing bishop to retreat. I understand Bg4 to pin the knight, but not when the knight isn’t there.

White's center Pawn duo is under considerably less pressure in this line. Also, your b6-Knight doesn't have much to show for the four moves it's made.

2023年12月15日 · Bg4 develops a piece (Ng4 doesn't), and the idea has a tricky little idea. Let's look at how white can respond. Moving the queen is an option, but doesn't help with developing those kingside pieces, and if white's king stays in the center too long, it's especially exposed.

2025年3月4日 · In this line of the Alekhine, on move 9, Black goes 9...Bg4 in what looks superficially like a crazy move, since it moves an already-developed piece in the opening with the King still in the center. However, if one looks at the position using Stockfish, at d=42, it thinks 9...Bg4 is +0.7, roughly on par with 9...Be7 and 9...Qd7. Why?
