1. e2e4  1... c7c6  2. g1f3  2... d7d5  3. b1c3  3... g8f6  4. e4e5  4... f6g8 A paradoxical move, reminding  of some games of Nimzowitsch. Black welcomes a closed pawn structure,  similar to the French, while accepting a loss of no fewer than three  moves. What makes it playable is the early development of the white  knights that takes away important pawn moves, c2-c3 and f2-f4. 5. d2d4  5... c8g4 This is another important detail: Black won't get stuck  with the bad Bc8. 6. f1e2  6... e7e6  7. f3g5 An interesting decision. White doesn't give much value to the  bishop pair and instead clears out for his f-pawn. 7... g4f5 A reply in kind. 8. e2h5  8... f5g6  9. e1g1  9... f8e7  10. g5h3
