00:00be an instant reaction of Zygberg-Tarrasch or any old classical player from 9th century or the 20th century.

00:08But a3 prepares knight c3 and preventing bishop b4, pinning the knight,

00:14and thus helping white to fight for the control of the central squares.

00:17So I remember that I've been promoting this idea a3,

00:21saying this is the best way to fight for the center and creating stronger position in the center,

00:25and you can have a powerful attack.

00:27I also remember that in late 70s, I was highly critical of Greenfield defense.

00:33Because for me, you know, playing d5 meant that after exchanger going d5, playing e4, knight c3, bc3,

00:39white had a pass pawn that should be promoted.

00:42And I won quite a few nice games by winning with white.

00:46Though at a later stage, I was a devoted Greenfield player,

00:50and almost to the end of my career, I played Greenfield.

00:53And let me tell you that I've changed my views about the strengths of white's position

01:02and about the chances to promote this deep one.

01:08And I have to say that while we're growing, one may say aging, we're changing our views.

01:15I remember that I watched, it was quite a surprise, an old Yefim Geller, a great Soviet champion,

01:22a grandmaster who started playing King's Indian.

01:26And he was one of the pioneers of King's Indian in the late 40s, early 50s, you know,

01:32reviving the opening and always coming up with new ideas.

01:35And then he switched to the Queen's Gambit.

01:40I couldn't believe why it was so, but then I just realized that it's not just about the opening.

01:46It's very important how you feel, whether you feel comfortable.

01:50And you always look for, you know, certain positions that could fit your chess-playing mood.

01:59And you always look for, you know, certain positions that could fit your chess-playing mood.
