Black encourages White's most natural plan in this position, providing a convenient target for the inevitable kingside pawn advance. And what kind of cruelty is this, making it play the Old Indian? I can hardly think of an opening less suited for The King's tactical talents, except perhaps the Old Benoni. Regards, Vine Smith
