3...Bc5: patient development

Black develops the bishop to c5

Train full line

The plan

There is no need to resolve the tension immediately. White completes development and gains space with f5.

  • Nf3 and Bc4 point towards the king
  • d3 stabilises e4
  • Play f5 for space once the king is safe
Watch out
  • Do not open the centre while the white king is stuck on e1
