Play as White • Repeat until it's automatic

Krause Variation

White inserts an early h3 to support a Bh2 retreat, keeping the dark-squared bishop completely out of harm's way before any ...Bd6 challenge can land. The setup prepares Nbd2 and a slow, fortress-like build-up favoured by patient positional players.
