The Averbakh Variation (5.Be2 0-0 6.Bg5) sees White postponing the development of his kingside knight in order to tactically prevent …e7-e5. Fans of prophylaxis will approve! Here my opponent strikes at the center with …c7-c5 instead and soon follows with the Benko Gambit-like …b7-b5 pawn sacrifice.
