In the main line, instead of playing 5 ...bf5, the Dutch Variation, we opt for Smyslov’s 5 ...na6.
With this move the knight heads immediately for the weakened b4 square, keeping options open
for developing the queen’s bishop. It may go to g4 pinning white’s knight, or even attempt to hold
the extra pawn by going to e6. Black often tempts White to take the knight on a6. This would
weaken black’s pawns, but it would also give up the two bishops - usually more than enough com-
pensation. The side variations are pretty standard “book” recommendations except for the risky ex-
change grab against the Geller Gambit. I hope you enjoy this quickie Slav System monograph.
