1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 4.Nf3 Nbd7 5.Bc4 Be7 6.0-0 h6 7.a4 c6 8.Qe2 Qc7 Diagram For comparison's sake, compare this diagram with the diagram in the previous game. The opening here was the Philador's Defense, and the Black queen developed straight to c7. In the other diagram, white has succeeded in adding additional development with Be3 and h3. If you have a fancy for positions like this, try a move order similar to this game, which, as you can see, offers more chances for Black.
