Game 15 – B08 [5.Be3 a6 6.h3]

1.e4 d6

2.d4 g6

3.Nc3 a6

I assume that this opponent is an intermediate player who plays many good moves, but against whom I usually win. However, Black proves much stronger than I anticipated. We transpose to the 3…g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.Be3 a6 variation.

4.Nf3

Thinking I had a weaker opponent, I varied from my normal 4.Be3 Bg7 5.Qd2 Nf6 6.f3 to choose 4.Nf3. Risky strategy.

4...Bg7

5.Be3 Nf6

This transposes to the Pirc Defense. White plays h3 to keep a minor piece out of g4.

6.h3 0–0
