BISHOP'S OPENING
Variation towards Legall's Mate

Black's inferior QP push supported his KP against any 3.Kt-KB3.., 4.KtxP attack aimed at Black's weak KB2(f7), and freed Black's QB for development.
White develops his King's Knight to pressure Black's KP, contest for Q4(d4) and enable castling - a position also attainable via Philidor's Defence.
    White  Black   Main route (Phil.D.)
 1. P-K4   P-K4		  (1.)
 2. B-B4   P-Q3	    (2.	Kt-KB3 P-Q3)
 3. Kt-KB3	    (3.	B-B4	   )
