Black plays the flexible 3...g6 against the Advance, fianchettoing the bishop before committing the centre. The Modern (or Gurgenidze) Variation aims for slow, manoeuvring play where Black accepts a small space disadvantage in exchange for a solid, flexible structure. White typically responds with c3 and Nf3, keeping a comfortable space advantage.
