background
The name of the defense is based on a long-distance game that was played from 1842 to 1845 between the leading Paris chess masters and the Pest Chess Club .

Through this they achieved a closed and passive position, the opening of which for the white party was not easy and associated with risks.
4. d2 – d4 e5xd4
White's best answer is 4. d2 – d4, where 4.… e5xd4 5. Nxd4 leads to a variant of the Scottish game with space advantage for White. 5. c2 – c3 with the hope of 5.… d4xc3 ?! 6. Qd1 – d5 !, after which Black resigned in the Midjord-Scharf game at the 1974 Chess Olympiad in Nice. (Although 6.… Ng8 – h6 7. Bc1xh6 0–0 would have been possible: 8. Bh6 – c1 ?! Nc6 – b4 9. Qd5 – d1 c3 – c2 wins the piece back, so White should have 8. Bh6xg7 Kg8xg7 9 Nb1xc3 play to keep his advantage.) But if Black answers with 5.… Nc6 – a5, as recommended by Tschigorin ! He forces White with 6. Qd1xd4 to give up his pair of bishops or lose a pawn .
