Bg7 analysis
The world has played cxd4, and Kasparov has replied with Nxd4. We have replied with Bg7 giving us the following position:-
There is a Java browser to look at with over 50 games from this position! There are three plans worth thinking about that have been covered earlier which make the assumption that we simply want to castle after White plays a Knight retreat.
A point of decision for Kasparov
Kasparov is likely to move his knight on d4 from the above position, because there is the threat of Nxe4 uncovering a discovered attack on the d4 knight:
Kasparov will play Ndc2 or Nde2?
Ndc2
GM Chess School seems to think that Ndc2 is not going to be played by Garry Kasparov.
However this move has been used to defeat top British GM Michael Adams (see game 7 on above Java browser). 9 games of the above Java browser feature Ndc2, so it is perhaps worth examining.
Nde2
It is against this move, that there is a potentially important tactical resource which has been surfaced in World team discussion's on the Microsoft bulletin board!
