Black exchanges his light−squared Bishop and then builds a pawn chain on the light squares (e6, d5), restricting White's Bishop on b3. 8 h3 ¥xf3 9 £xf3 e6 10 ¥g5 h6 11 ¥h4 ¤bd7 12 0-0-0?! Here the King is a good target, Medina Garsia,A−Botvinnik,M/Palma de Mallorca 1967. 0-0 6 0-0 ¥g4 The main line, and Black's most popular response to the Classical system, it's not easy for White to prove his advantage.
