another reason for choosing not to play this way. Aaron plays very well in
open positions and I wanted to guide the position to something more positional
and less open to play to my strengths.}) ({I think} 3... c5 {was also not bad
followed by ...Nc6}) 4. Nf3 Bg7 5. d4 d6 {So I am treating the position like a
hybrid kings-indian. It was quite rare to play this way with only 100 or so
games reaching this position with few strong players venturing it. But
surprisingly Gata Kamsky was played it twice and won twice! Kamsky's approach
is to play moves like ...e6, ...h6 and ...a6 with ...Ne7 and ...Nd7 and even
without castling! The idea is to keep flexible and respond depending on
whatever white does. It is surprisingly difficult for white to find an
effective plan against this setup.} 6. g3 {A very unusual move that seems to
lose time. In saying this the bishop is useful on the long diagonal making
ideas like e4-e5-e6 possible and also preventing Rc8 in some cases. I have
only found one game where white played this way} (6. h3 e6 7. Be3 Ne7 8. Bd3 a6
