1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 d5 4.g3 Be7 5.Bg2 0-0 6.0-0 dxc4 7.h4
Jorden van Foreest surprised Yuriy Kryvoruchko in the 2023 European Club Championship in the Catalan with a novelty on move seven! Usually White continues after 6.dxc4 with 7.Qc2 in order to recapture the pawn as quickly as possible. Instead, Van Foreest brought 7.h4 to the board. "A very creative move!", says our author Nico Zwirs.
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nbd7
Jan Werle has already fought many a theoretical battle with his compatriot Loek van Wely. At the Rapid tournament in Gouda this year, the two grandmasters (again) discussed the variation 7...Nbd7 in the Classical King's Indian.
Renato Quintiliano contributes "The brilliancy" to this issue. In the recently quite popular variation 1.e4 c5 2.c3 d5 3.exd5 Nf6!? 4.Qa4+ Nbd7 5.c4 he followed up with 5...b5!
"An energetic approach in the style of the 19th century, in which another pawn is sacrificed in order to develop another piece with tempo..."
