QUEEN'S GAMBIT
The Petrosian Variation
White's QKt supported a planned eventual P-K4.
Black foregoes Orthodox, Tarrasch or Semi-Slav lines, developing his King's Bishop to a "closed" K2(e7) early so as to control KKt4(g5). Played three times by Soviet player Tigran Petrosian (World Champion 1963-9) in his 1963 W.Ch.match. B-Alt.
