Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-21-21  Ulhumbrus: 5 Nc3 appears eccentric. This suggests that Black may take liberties in reply. The question is which liberties. One example of a liberty is 5...f5 discouraging the advance e4. Then if White plays 6 e4 anyway as a gambit after 6 e4 fxe4 White can't play f3 as he has already developed his knig's knight to f3.

Instead of 12...Rfe8 12..Bd6 supports the pawn advance ...f4 as well as getting ready for the pawn advance 13...c5. Black can afford an isolated pawn on d5 more if White has weakened his e pawn by f3.

If after 16...Nxb2 the potential threat of e4 is too strong one alternative is 16...c5 attacking the centre

Then if White plays 6 e4 anyway as a gambit after 6 e4 fxe4 White can't play f3 as he has already developed his king's knight to f3. However although it is true that White cannot play 7 f3 at once can White make it possible one move later by 7 Ne5? Let us try a few moves: 7 Ne5 Nf6 8 f3 exf3 9 Qxf3 e6 10 g4 prepares g5
