"This move came into prominence when Bilek achieved a rapid draw with it as Black against Portisch at the 1967 Interzonal. At first sight Black's idea looks dubious: the K file and the light squares are seriously weakened and Black's KP may become a liability. But in practice the variation has not worked out badly for Black. Bilek has employed the line not infrequently in international tournaments while nearer home it has been taken up enthusiastically by a London club and correspondence player R. Lancaster and by the Scottish international master D. Levy."
