3..d6 is passive that's why it's not played as often, but you see it all the time by low rated club players

So my extremely low rating is why I enjoy playing Petroff's so much — I've always wondered.

I play this defense because I enjoy the living blazes out of it. From the first time I saw it in Modern Chess Openings in 1978, I had an affinty for it. I find it fun!

Is it drawish? Sure! Luckily, at my level, draws are rare as women who find me charming.

So I'm going to keep playing it and having fun — at least until I check out the Berlin thing.

Regards,
