Understand the move
Move the pawn from d2 to d4.
First, the idea.
Optional study: this lesson is excluded from guided-path completion and the opening test. White's capture on e5 is met by ...Nxe4, exposing the g7 bishop's diagonal. After the exchanges, material is balanced; Black has active bishops rather than a lost pawn.
Progress stays on this device. No account needed.
