Der Zug kam für mich unerwartet; einen Anfänger würde ich vielleicht mit
grundsätzlichen Ratschlägen zur Entwicklung der Figuren belästigen. Nach
widerwilligem Ablegen meiner Schablone fiel mir als Problem bei der
Entwicklung des Bf8 (z.B. nach d6) der Sturm Pg2-g4(-g5) ein: Pg7 ist
ungedeckt, so daß der Nf6 nach h5 muß, wo man sich schon ein wenig Gedanken um
seine Zukunft machen kann. Eine Probe mit der Megabase ergab, daß die meisten
Schwarzspieler in dieser Stellung zu dem gleichen Ergebnis kamen: sie griffen
zu neutralen Zügen wie c6 und a5, sogar vorsorglich zu h6.} ({Gespielt wurde}

setup chosen by White is perfecty viable against Black's system of development
based on Bg4 or Bf5 and the placement of the pawns on c6, d5, e6. However,
against the "Tarrasch" setup, White certainly risks to be left with a passive
bishop on b2, in case of a well timed closing of the long diagonal with ...d4
and ...e5. The fact that Black is 2 tempi down compared to a normal Benoni 
(his e-pawn reaches e5 in two steps, while reversing the colours in a known
opening always gives White an extra-tempo) is compensated by the fact that
White has spent 2 moves (b3 and Bb2) to place the bishop on a passive position.
Eventually, he will have to lose additional time to bring the bishop back into
play. I believe that White has to care more about the d4-square if he doesn't
want to end up in a worse position. He has several ways of doing this.} (7. d4
