THE IDEAS BEHIND THE CHESS OPENINGS, "White must threaten something early, for otherwise Black will be able to counter with ... d5 or develop all his pieces without any trouble. So 4 Bb5."

4 ... d5 5 PxP
MY SYSTEM, "A center pawn should always be taken if this can be done without too great danger.”

5 … NxP 6 Bb2
LOGICAL CHESS, “A bishop is utilized to greatest effect in controlling an important diagonal or in pinning an enemy piece.”
