2. Bg2[edit | edit source]

White has fianchettoed their king’s bishop, placing pressure on the centre, and Black’s queenside. Black can respond with simple development (e.g. 2…Nf6), or grabbing the whole centre with 2…d5. In the latter case, we can expect a typical battle between the hypermodern and classical philosophies. Chances are about equal.
