| Sep 19, 2017 at 22:36 | comment | added | TMM | I don't think Qc1 is the most challenging continuation for white - the bishop on g7 is not that powerful anyway, if white "blunts" the center further with e3 to defend d4. So instead of Qc1 I think better would be e3, developing naturally, and arguing that the bishop on f4 contributes to play on the queenside and open c-file, while the bishop on g7 is a bystander for the action that will ensue on the queenside. (My experience with such a fianchetto for black is exactly that - that it is simply misplaced on g7, and I would be happy to trade it off for the stronger bishop on f4.) | |

| Sep 18, 2017 at 14:21 | comment | added | Marco | or i could think this trade is just a waste of time and ignore it and keeping developing | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 14:20 | comment | added | Marco | white moved queen to c1 and if i think it is important avoid this trade I could play h6 or h5. | |

| Sep 18, 2017 at 13:55 | comment | added | user1108 | @Marco: White can still win a pawn, but the lead in development is better for black this time around so black has more compensation. But 6...Nc6 is also fine | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 13:52 | comment | added | Marco | 6...Bg7 does not fall in the same trap? I think correct is 6...Nc6 | |
| Sep 18, 2017 at 13:37 | comment | added | Marco | I think you point something very interesting. Black's bishop belongs to f8-b4 diagonal. But in my experience if I delay as much as I can e7-e6 dark squares don't become very weak. In blitz works perfectly because of no one is ready for reply this move. Even if your variation is strong takes time to find it over the board. But I was thinking in play it in classical chess. I had very bad time playing cambridge springs and botvinnik variation with huge preparation. | |
