Kibitzer's Corner
Oct-15-04  Knight13: Black's bishop is stucked for the next 2 moves to avoid White playing Bb5+!. This is not a bad opening position at all.

  bomb the bishop: I have an overall doubt, what is the main difference if black decides to play 3...g6, or 3..e6 after 1.d4 Nf6, 2. c4 c5, 3. d5 is g6 intended to avoid another system?
