Moves: 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 Bf5 5. Ng3 Bg6 6. h4 h5

6. ...h5

[edit | edit source]

Instead of the more traditional ...h6, here black opts to block the white pawn from advancing altogether. This is a rare move at the professional level, although not an inherently bad one (although castling kingside becomes more dangerous compared to ...h6 lines). White has a large variety of moves to play; 7. Nf3 develops a piece while 7. Nh3!?, aiming for an eventual Nf4, has also been attempted.
