Originally posted by Faith No MoreCome to think of it, g3 is not a very good move. CM's next move will be e4 and then we'll be in trouble, forced to play dxe4. Then CM will swap queens and we will be forced to either lose castling by taking the queen with our king or taking the queen with the knight, losing the pawn back, and stuck in a much inferior position.
g3
My suggestion is Bg5 so that our queen will be communicating with our rook.
Just my 2 cents worth...
