And a great incentive to play "The Bishop's!"

It's a "Neat" Attack, unless Black plays, 6...Nc6!

This shows even greater chances playing "The Bishop's."

Possibly, the Strongest Symmetrical Opening for White, ever?!

When "The Bishop's" transposes to the "Two Knight's Defense"

Black should win, with the best of Play!

If as Black, you aren't experienced or wise enough to Transpose into the Two Knights' with 3...Nc6



Then with the best of Play you shall lose in the Boden-Kieseritzky
