Position after 3.… c4 !?
According to the Indian introduction
- 1. d2-d4 Ng8-f6
White doesn't have to play 2. c2 – c4, he can also play among other things
- 2. Ng1-f3
try what Black can play on in Benoni style:
- 2.… c7 – c5
The normal move on it is
- 3. d4 – d5 ,
which gives Black the opportunity to make a seemingly bizarre advance:
- 3.… c5 – c4 !?
The purpose of this move is to cut off the d5 from other white pawns and possibly attack it with Qd8 – a5 - hence the name of the opening, an abbreviation of "Have I got you". It is called either so or hawk - in English the translation "hawk" has become common. You can continue with 4. Nb1 – c3 Qd8 – a5 5. Qd1 – d4 b7 – b5 6. e2 – e4 with sharp tangles.
According to the current theory, this opening shows a clear plus for white, which is why it has not yet been used by grandmasters.
