The question is not hard to answer. If you play O-O, then you are pretty much forced to play g3. And invite some company to the king's residence. I think it is bad in general, even if white can hold on with g3 and not lose as Hsu reported... But I really don't like to be forced to play a move like g3 as that simply gives black more targets and invites the h-pawn to the party... > >I remember that I found that without c4 white's position is not bad besed on >engine-engine games some years ago. Depends on your definition of "not bad". I don't like positions with g3 and no bishop parked on g2, if black's queen is on that side of the board, etc. > >It may be interesting to see the results today when software and hardware are >better. > >Uri Someone could certainly run a Nunn-like test from this position...
