While there are<br \/>\ndefenders of this classical viewpoint, all White players of 1.d2-d4<br \/>\nhave learned to respect the counterpunching power of the Indian<br \/>\ndefences and many Black players use them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;So now there is another school of thought, saying White<br \/>\nplayers can get better practical chances by avoiding the main lines<br \/>\nafter 2. c2-c4, and instead play with a more solid centre for<br \/>\nactivity on the wings, or perhaps playing a simple developmental<br \/>\nmove and only playing in the centre when Black&#8217;s activity has been<br \/>\nlimited.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;One other common theme is to play the Bc1 out early, to<br \/>\nexchange off the Black Knight on f6 (the best defender of the<br \/>\ncastled King) and perhaps create weaknesses. We can see all these<br \/>\nthemes at work in the following game, where the wily Korchnoi leads<br \/>\nthe young Karpov up an unfamiliar alley and duffs him up: <a name=\n\"_Toc346949558\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><a name=\"RTFToC3\" id=\"RTFToC3\">Korchnoi-Karpov, Hastings<br \/>\n1974-5.<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1. d4 Nf6 2.

The founder of this<br \/>\nsystem scored a famous victory over Lasker with a &#8216;windmill&#8217;<br \/>\ncombination. It has similar ideas to the London System, and chooses<br \/>\nperhaps a better square for the Bishop. It also tempts Black to<br \/>\nchase the bishop, as we can see in this line against a King<br \/>\nFianchetto system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"chessboard\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"t\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/brl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"S\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/bnd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"l\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bbl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"D\"\nsrc=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bqd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"j\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bkl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\n\"L\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bbd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"T\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/brd.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"X\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"x\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"X\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"x\"\nsrc=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"X\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\n\"x\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"X\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"x\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bpl.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"-\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/bnd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\n\"-\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"+\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"B\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wbd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\n\"-\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"-\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"P\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\n\"-\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"+\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"+\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"n\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wnl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\n\"+\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"-\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtl.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"p\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"P\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"p\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\"\nsrc=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"p\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"P\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"p\"\nsrc=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"P\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wpd.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"R\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wrd.gif\" \/><img alt=\"n\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/wnl.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"+\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\n\"q\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wql.gif\" \/><img alt=\"K\" src=\n\"\/wp\/chessx\/wkd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"b\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wbl.gif\" \/><img alt=\"+\"\nsrc=\"\/wp\/chessx\/mtd.gif\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"r\" src=\"\/wp\/chessx\/wrl.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_Toc346949567\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5><a name=\"RTFToC12\" id=\"RTFToC12\">Smyslov,V &#8211; Nunn,J [A48]<br \/>\n(Tilburg), 1982<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1. d4 Nf6 2.
