With 4. d4, White enters the reversed Grünfeld where play can be very sharp. The d-pawn immediately confronts Black's centre and forces a response.
Black may respond with 4...cxd4, entering a reversed exchange Grünfeld. However, they may also respond with 4...e6, discovering the f8-bishop's defense of the c4-pawn. The most common response is 4...Nf6.
