DasBurner

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

DasBurner

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