The Torre Attack is not often seen at top level, as statistically doesn't give white much more than equality. However, if black does not play accurately, white can get a dangerous kingside attack.

e6 is most common, although statistically gives white the better chances, and plays into whites goals for the Torre. Perhaps best for black is the dynamic c5.
