Originally posted by Trev33Controlling space is a means to an end, not an end in itself. A 'passive' opening, one which does not overtly try to control space by occupying it, can appeal to players of a certain temperament. It can also sometimes lead certain opponents into over-extending themselves,
I never understood passive openings, surely the point of chess is to control space?
Originally posted by EladarI think it was meant to be the King's Indian Attack, the problem is white played it as the King's Indian Defence in reverse. I don't like the knight on d2, it puts pressure on e4 but gets in the way of the bishop so white can't get 6. f4 in and plays Nf3 instead which lets him castle but slows down the natural advance of the f-pawn.
I think white was playing a variation of the white lion.
