no hooks in the pawn structure. Perhaps the idea is best known from the game

still fine moves to be found which engines will not immediately identify as
the best continuation. White has no direct threat here because there are no
hooks in Black's kingside pawn structure. The game slows down somewhat and
White just grabs space. White may face the same problem - no hooks - in the
Petroff with 5.Nc3. Over and above that, the open e-file in the Petroff takes
a lot of sting out of the position, but here White has a solid spatial
advantage.} c6 (10... Bxh4+ 11. Kd1 {looks dangerous:} Be7 (11... g5 12. Qh2) (

made Bronstein remark: "poor dark-squared bishop, off it goes into full
retirement, not to make one more move until the game's end". In this game the
