Nigel Short's restrained treatment of the Advance: White develops calmly with Nf3, Be2, Be3 and short castling, accepting a small space edge without committing to sharp pawn pushes. Black equalises gradually with ...c5 and the typical ...Ne7-f5 manoeuvre. A modern positional way to handle the Advance.
