In the majority of cases the Knight goes to g5 from f3, and the Queen attacks h7 from h5, coming from her original square d1. Then, if Black cannot protect h7 by a Knight from f6 or by the Bishop, from f5 for instance, or from g6, the only protection as a rule is to advance the Pawn to h6. The position of Diagram 25 may serve as an example. +−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−+ 8 | #R | #Kt| #B | #Q | #K | | | #R | |−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−| 7 | #P | #P | #P | #P | #Kt| #P | #P | #P | |−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−| 6||||||||| |−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−| 5 | | | #B | | | | | | |−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−| 4 | | | ^B | #P | ^P | | | | |−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−| 3 | | | | | | ^Kt| | | |−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−| 2 | ^P | ^P | ^P | | | ^P | ^P | ^P | |−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−| 1 | ^R |^Kt | ^B | ^Q | ^K | | | ^R | +−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−+ abcdefgh DIAGRAM 25 Black's last move was Kt−e7, while Kt−f6, which protects the Pawn h7 against future attacks, is generally preferable in any opening.
