5...g6

[edit | edit source]

Black delays the recapture of a6 and prioritizes development instead. 5...g6 simply intends to develop the bishop to g7, from where it will control the a1-h8 diagonal. This also opens up the possibility for discovered attacks by moving the knight away from f6.

White usually continues 6. Nc3 to develop a piece and prepare e4.
