Vachier-Lagrave is a very active player and has his eyes on all the possible pawn breaks: b5, d5, and f5.
1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... d7d6  3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. d1d4  4... b8c6  5. f1b5  5... c8d7  6. d4d3 An interesting alternative to the more popular 6.Bxc6. 6... g7g6  7. c2c4  7... f8g7  8. e1g1  8... g8f6  9. b1c3 White has the traditional Maroczy structure (pawns on e4 and c4) but with somewhat strange pieces: the queen on d3 and the bishop on b5. 9... f6g4 A rare move. The idea is to place the knight on e5, but it backfires against precise play. 10. b5c6 [%c_effect c6;square;c6;type;GreatFind;persistent;true] 10... d7c6  11. f3d4 A new and not very effective move. 11... e8g8  12. h2h3  12... g4e5  13. d3e2  13... a8c8  14. c1e3 Now White gets the kind of position he wants with this system with more space and no counterplay for Black. 14... c6d7  15. b2b3  15... a7a6  16. a1c1
