By calmly fianchettoing his king's bishop in reply to the King's Indian and Grunfeld, White seeks to draw the sting from these dynamic defenses and exert positional pressure throughout the middlegame. By refusing to create a massive pawn-center, he offers Black no target for counter-play. Some of the lines become very sharp, especially if Black makes an all-out attempt to generate counter-play and provokes White into hand-to-hand fighting. These lines in particular call for accurate detailed analysis, and Lasha Janjgava provides this in abundance.
