IMO century4 is more active and initiative with the pieces. it groups the queen+rook and also the bishop+knight arround the king, IMO it is trying to make a mate net. not that agressive as CSTal tried it, but smarter. This is IMO a difference to the style century3 played. since this is IMO an active plan that is useful in most positions, it is a quality century3 did not have. and - it is a part of the new paradigm.
