In this line of the Scandinavian Defense, Black adopts a fianchetto setup with the g7-g6 pawn move, preparing to develop the bishop to g7, which offers strong control over the long diagonal and contributes to a solid pawn structure. Key ideas for Black include countering White's center with pieces rather than pawns, and aiming for a flexible position that allows for active piece play while maintaining a solid defense. This setup appeals to players who prefer a strategic and positional approach, valuing piece activity and long-term planning over immediate confrontations.
