Lazy Variation with c2-c3 


1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 3.c3 

Tiger has removed one game of the previous book's 4 example games and added three new for a total of six example games.
White usually plays Bd3 and 0-0 while Black usually plays ...Nf6 and ...0-0 and in this case Tiger then recommends a set-up for Black involving ...Nc6 supporting a subsequent ...e5 which gets good results.
 
White has the following plans:

A) White meets ...Nc6 with an early h2-h3 to prevent ...Bg4
        9.Be3  Rausis vs Hillarp Persson
                  Villavicencio Martinez vs Bologan
        9...Nd7  Schneider vs Hillarp Persson
                    Godena vs Hillarp Persson
        9...Bd7  Godena vs Gashimov
        9...a6  Eriksson vs Hillarp Persson
                  Marcotulli vs Joppich**  [MB]
        10...Nf4  Bologan vs Hillarp Persson
 
B) White tries to save time by ommitting h2-h3
        8.Nbd2  Ionov vs McNab
        8...exd4  Espig vs Gofshtein
        9...Nh5  Rabiega vs Schulz
        9...h6  Rabiega vs Almasi
        12...bxc6  Mainka vs Espig
 
C) White reacts to ...Nc6 with d4-d5
        10...Nbd7  Tiviakov vs Arizmendi Martinez
        12.Bd2  Cybulak vs Shchekachev
 
        8...e6  Gelfand vs Morozevich
        9...cxd5  Sturua vs Yrjola
        10.dxc6  Svensson vs Gavrikov**  [MB]
        14...h6  Brynell vs Hillarp Persson
 
D) White plays Bg5
        4.f4  Hodgson vs Norwood
        6...Nbd7  Danielian vs Levada
        7.Bxf6  Harikrishna vs Gallagher
        8.Bc4  Gelashvili vs Sarkar
        13.Bf1  Delemarre vs Reschke
 
E) White plays an early Nbd2
        9...a5  Hracek vs Hodgson
        10.Re1  Gipslis vs Hoi
                    Van Bentum vs Rudolf
                    Chloupek vs Vokac
        11.Bf1 Troeger vs Degenhardt
