I am clear on the meanings behind the letter, KT-KB3 meaning Knight to Kings Bishop 3, but i get really confused as soon as the line starts to run.
When we approach 5. It seems like there are 2 variants, PXP or Pawn to Bishop 4 for white, but what do the moves to the right mean? Are they the correct responses from blacks perspective? So IF white plays P-B4, does black do PXP? Or am i completely lost here?
Hey all! I've recently purchased the book Modern Chess openings, and am a bit confused about the notation.
It looks a little like this:
1 P-K 4. KT -K B 3 : 2 P-K 5. KT-Q4: 3P-QB4 KT-KT3: 4 P-Q4. PQ-3
1 2 3 4 5
5 P-B4 .....................................................PXP
PXP KPXP
6 BPXP KTQB3 (f)
KT-B3 KTQB3(I)
