Fianchetto Defense

In this position, Black adopts a hypermodern approach by fianchettoing the dark-squared bishop with ...g6, aiming to control the center from a distance rather than occupying it directly.

This setup appeals to players who favor a flexible and strategic game, often looking for counterplay and dynamic positions rather than immediate tactical skirmishes.
