DOWNLOAD - Chessbase Training - Master the Modern Defence (1...g6)

The Modern Defence (1…g6) is more than just a move – it’s a statement. By opting for a fianchetto setup, you embrace unbalanced and strategically rich positions, steering away from predictable theory battles. This approach allows Black to develop along the long diagonal, patiently targeting White’s strong centre instead of directly challenging it. If you‘re looking to play for a full point with Black, this opening is the perfect addition to your repertoire.

What Makes 1…g6 So Effective?

• Avoids Mainstream Theory
• Strategic Complexity
• Targeting White’s Centre
