Apertura Grob: Spike Attacco
A00Idea principale del Bianco
White aims to fianchetto the king's bishop early with Bg2, then push the g-pawn to g5 to gain space on the kingside and restrict Black's development. The Spike Attack (3. g5) seeks to provoke weaknesses and prepare a quick kingside assault, often targeting the h5 square for a future pawn push or piece invasion.
