🞫
🞫 By default arrows will provide hints to show which moves are in this study. Using the options below you can control for how many moves the arrows/hints should stay visible. By default they stay visible until all moves in a position has been played twice. Any non-playable arrow annotations from the study or PGN file will appear as transparent arrows.
White 1.Nf3:
In general, this is played for the KIA. Nf3 blocks e5 and allows an easy fianchetto.
By playing 1.c5, we "offer" to transpose to the Sicilian, but it is unlikely that they will do so.
We may also reach the English and a line of the Old Benoni defense with 2.Nf3.
Black response 1...c5:
We invite the Sicilian defense, but don't expect people to usually accept it, or they would have played 1.e4 in the first place.
