Foxy 47: Sidestep Variation - Plaskett (85 mins)
As played by Nigel Short against Garry Kasparov - 1.d4 d6 2.Nf3 Bg4 is a relatively new system with some high-class adherents. Completely sound, it leads to dynamic and unbalanced middlegames. The defense has the considerable merit of sidestepping standard theory, and is a favorite of Anand and Speelman. GM James Plaskett analyses Blacks best plans against all possible White set-ups.1.d4 d6 2.Nf3 Bg4!Part 1: 3.e4 Nf6 4.Nc3Part 2: 3.e4 Nf6 4.Nc3 e6 5.h3 Bh5 6.Qe2Part 3: 3.e4 Nf6 4.Nbd2Part 4: 3.c4 Bxf3 4.gxf3Part 5: 3.c4 Bxf3 4.exf3Part 6: 3.c4 Nd7 4.e4Part 7: 3.c4 Nd7 4.e3Part 8: 3.c4 Nd7 4.Qb3Part 9: 3.g3/3.Nbd2/3.h3
