B-K2 and Kt-B4. B-K2 is preferred nowadays to B- QB4, as QB4 should be kept free for the KKt in case the
latter is driven from his dominating position, e.g. 10. R-K1 and 11. Q Kt- Q2. For if in that case Black exchanges
the Knights, he only furthers White's development without doing anything towards strengthening his Q4.
If Black covers the Knight with P-B4, White plays PxP e.p. and Kt-Kt5, rids himself of Black's QB, and

thereby weakens Black's QP still more.
Kt-B4 would therefore seem to be the best choice, as the QB becomes mobile again after White's B-B2, nor
can White

play P-Q4 as yet. The position in the diagram therefore leads to the following variations:
A. 9. ... B-K2; 10. R-K1, Castles; 11. QKt-Q2, Kt-B4; 12. B-B2, B-KKt5. This manoeuvre was introduced
by Em. Lasker (Petrograd, 1909. For further particulars see Game No. 15).
B. 9. ... Kt-B4; 10. QKt-Q2, P-Q5 (Capablanca-Em. Lasker, Petrograd, 1914); or 9. ... B-K2; 10. R-K1,
Castles; 11. QKt-Q2, Kt-B4; 12. B-B2, P-Q5 (Em. Lasker-Tarrasch, Petrograd, 1914).
Capablanca believes that the early advance of P-Q5 can be refuted by Kt-K4, e.g. 9. ... B-K2; 10. QKt-Q2,
Kt-B4; 11. B-B2, P-Q5; 12. Kt-K4, PxP; 13. KtxKt, BxKt; 14. B-K4, Q-Q2; 15. Q-B2 or PxP.
The openings as sketched out up to this point give a sufficiently clear idea of the possibilities of combining
sound development with an attempt to capture the centre after the opening moves 1. P-K4, P-K4. In most cases,
Black's centre pawn being open to attack by White's P-Q4, we find an early break-up of the centre, and
concurrently the opening of the Ks or Qs file for the Rooks. That is why games opened in this fashion have been
classed very generally as "open," whilst all the other openings are called "close games." Lately the distinction has
been abandoned, and very rightly, since in the latter openings, too, the centre can be cleared occasionally. We
attain typical close positions when Black does not play 1. ... P-K4 in answer to 1. P-K4, but relinquishes all
claim on his K4 and takes possession of his Q4 instead, leaving White the option of interlocking the pawns in the
centre with P-K5.
On principle it does not seem advisable for Black to play P-Q4 on the first move in reply to 1. P-K4.
Although White's centre pawn disappears after 2. PxP, QxP, Black loses a move through 3. Kt- QB3, and his
Queen has no place from which it cannot be driven away very soon, unless it be at Q1. This, however, would
amount to an admission of the inferiority of the whole of Black's plan.
There are two moves which deserve consideration as a preliminary to P-Q4, namely, 1. ... P-K3 (French
Defence)

and P-QB3 (Caro-Kann defence). After 2. P-Q4, P-Q4, we attain the positions set out in the Diagrams 27
and 28, to which we must devote a good deal of attention.
These openings are worthy of study as being especially interesting examples of the struggle for the centre.
As early as the third move, White has to take an important decision. Is he to play P-K5 and prevent the

the K or Q file for a long time to come, or should he proceed to develop his pieces, and leave Black the option
of anticipating the blocking of the centre by playing PxP himself?
I shall first turn my attention to those games in which White plays P-K5, starting with the French Defence,
after which the Caro-Kann Defence will be easily understood.
The position which ensues in the centre after 1. P-K4, P-K3; 2. P-Q4, P-Q4; 3. P-K5, divides the board
diagonally, and it is easy to recognise roughly the main lines of play which will govern the game. White has more
scope on the King's side, where his pieces will have greater mobility, and prospects of attack. Black's chances are
on the Queen's side. Both sides will have to advance more pawns in order to obtain openings for their Rooks, and
use them for the attack, since they have no future on the K and Q files, as was the case in the openings mentioned
hitherto.
The obvious moves to this end are: for White the advance of the KBP, for Black that of the QBP and
sometimes even of the QKtP, that is when the QBP has not been exchanged for the opposing QP, but has pushed

on to B5.
In Diagrams 29 and 30 we see the chains of pawns formed by these manoeuvres.
White's pawn attack is more dangerous than Black's,
