STAUNTON SYSTEM
A series of moves originally designed by Howard Staunton (1810-74) for
both Black (shown) and White (the reverse, by the same series of moves).
Neglected after his retirement until Nimzowitsch re-introduced it in
the 1920's, it has since become standard play for Black in particular.
Combining a king's bishop fianchetto
with ..P-QB4, ..P-K3 and ..KKt-K2, it often
arises from the Sicilian Defence.
1..P-QB4, 2..Kt-QB3, 3..P-KKt3,
4..B-Kt2, 5..P-K3, 6..KKt-K2, 7..0-0
