1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 Bb4+:
A dual-purpose move. Black ensures rapid kingside
castling and likely e4 domination. If the b1 knight
jumps to c3/d2, it’s then unable to challenge f6 on
e4. If the c1 bishop covers e1, Black is still solid
on e4.

Bogo-Indian Defence
Attack in the endgame
Position after 16 ... Rfe8.
Significantly stronger was the attempt to support the knight
at e4, since, firstly, in the given variation this is a very
important square for Black, and secondly, White’s long-range
light-square bishop, which later becomes rampant, would then
have been securely restricted. Thus the set-up with …b7-b6
followed by …f7-f5 was effectively essential for Black in his
battle for equality. Moreover, it is unfavourable for Black to
exchange queens, and it later transpires that without exchanging
queens the outpost at e4 can longer be maintained.

What's the game plan for Black?
* Lessen White's central preponderance by
pinning the c3 and f3 knights with the Queen

nailed down to those squares, the knights
can no longer influence central affairs.
* Utilize the c8 bishop not only to
pressurize the d1-h5 diagonal but also to
contend for the b1-h7 and h1-a8 diagonals.
* Strengthen d5 through ... c7-c6
and ... e7-e6 so as to cushion it against
White's prospective d5 break. In some lines,
Nf6-d5 is used to hold White up in the center.
* Challenge White's occupation of e5.
Usually, Nbd7 initiates pressure against the
outpost. The Queen then weighs in on the
matter from a5 or c7, aided by ... Bd6.
* Use the half open d-file to gain
central play. In some variations, Black
castles long and subsequently uses the
d8 rook to bear down on this file.

White to move:
White’s queenside space advantage and
c-file domination call for an attack on
the weakened b6 and a4 pawns.
Nonetheless, the d7 bishop is covering a4.
It’s also protecting b6 by preventing Rc6.
It’s therefore logical for White to eliminate
this good defensive bishop by offering his
own bad one: 1 Bb5!
Following the inevitable exchange, White
will play Rc6 and Qb5 to expose the Black
position to significant pressure.
White to move:
1 Qxb8 is obvious because after 1 … Rxb8 2 Rc1
followed by 3 Rc7, White’s rook is powerfully
placed on the only open file.
King's Indian Defense: Deflect and Declare!
O’Kelly-Najdorf, Dubrovnik 1950:
Black to play.
Black is under fire on c7! How should he respond?
He could take on b5, but that may allow White to
use the resultant half open c-file to trouble
further c7. Obviously, such harassment would first
require kicking back the c5 knight through a timely
b2-b4. 
Black to play.
Alternatively, he could take on d5. This option is
attractive because after exd5, the g2 bishop is
solidly hindered (cxd5 hangs b5 and Rxd5 forsakes e4
(… Bc6)). He could then take on b5 and make plans to
own enviable c5. The procedure would involve disabling
Bxc5 and b2-b4 through … a3!

Position after 11 Qc2.
How should Black proceed in this position?
Attacking the kingside isn’t a reasonable
option given he’s got only the f6 knight
and c8 bishop aiming in that direction.
What’s more, White has no weaknesses there.
In the center, both knights draw appreciable
water, therefore there’s hope for a game plan
there. Since there aren’t any easy posts or
shortcomings to go for, Black is forced to
initiate action via a central push (… d6-d5).
Such a thrust also guarantees space and likely
open files for the rooks. But only if c5 wasn’t
hanging following … d6-d5, only if, only if…
But wait! The following imaginary set-up
is so ideal for achieving … d6-d5:
Although in the time it takes to get such a
position White could cook up trouble.
Position after 11 Qc2.
From his point of view, f2-f4 is the game plan
and it’s definitely an easier one to achieve
(12 O-O 13 f4). But 11 … b6 in pursuit of the
imaginary set-up above may still be viable.
Position after 11 ... b5.
On the queenside, Black can gain space and
also give White a backward c3 pawn by
11 … b5 12 cxb5 cxb5. He can then pressurize
c3 down the half open c-file by first moving
the bishop and then placing a rook on c8.
Since the 11 … b5 plan is more rapidly executable
than the 11 … b6 one, 11 … b5 it is! And Bxc5 isn’t
threatening because following … dxc5 the backward
d3 pawn looks tempting down the just opened d-file.

Wow, Chris, that is a ton of information.
Going to take me a while to sift through
that and get my poor brain wrapped around it.
Thanks for the post!

No problem Lance. Just remember the post
is a work-in-progress. The real beef is still
to come!
In the mean time, just fire away if you
have any questions.
Have a good one.
