Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Classical Variation

After 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 exd4 6.cxd4, Black plays 6...Bb4+ 7.Bd2 (or 7.Nc3), entering a well-analysed theoretical duel. White gets a strong centre but Black's active pieces and the pin on d2 create counterplay. A key battleground in modern Italian Game theory.
