I used to think they were just a cheap way of turtling up and avoiding an open game but they're just very sneaky, it's hard to realize the amount of pressure it actually creates

and yes this wasn't just a one game realization I've been noticing it more and more after studying the Alekhine Fianchetto systems

I have a 15-move win with the Catalan in a RAPID game because of that bishop. Fianchettos are OP...

  • fianchetto (plural fianchetti) ( chess ) The development of a bishop by moving it one square to a long diagonal; specifically, a set of opening moves where a bishop is developed to the second rank of the adjacent knight file .
