Nc3 Nc6 3. f4 {the Grand Prix attack. If Black knows what to do here, they can equalize without problems. I wasn't sure I would recall all topical lines, so decided to play pawn structures I know best.} d6 (3... g6 { main line.}) (3... e6 {2nd main line. with the idea of d5.}) 4. Nf3 Nf6 (4... Bg4) 5. h3 $6 {waste of tempo. Bg4 is not a positional threat (just Be2).} g6 ( 5... e6) 6. Be2 $6 {passive.} (6. Bc4) 6... Bg7 {already equal.} 7. O-O O-O 8. d3 (8. d4 $2 cxd4 9.
