This is a relatively rare move. 5. e2c4 A modern way of playing, recently tried by some strong chess players, including Carlsen.

It's amazing how Carlsen's name appears in almost every opening we analyze. 5... f8e7  6. d2d3  6... b8c6  7. c1g5  7... e8g8  8. g5f6  8... e7f6  9. c3d5  9... c8e6  10. d1d2 A new move. 10... a7a6 Preparing the b7-b5 advance, which is possible even if White plays a2-a4. 11. e1g1  11... b7b5  12. c4b3  12... g8h8  13. a2a3 Now a game of maneuvering begins. 13... a8b8  14. h2h3  14... g7g6 A typical plan: remove the bishop from f6 and push f7-f5, just like in the Sveshnikov Defense. 15. c2c3
