Bg5 { There are different plans white can go for in this position. Let's examine a game that show us what the white pieces aim for normally in these set ups. [%clk 0:09:55] } ( 8. c3 { c3 defends the square d4 from the entrance of the c6 knight, prepares the move d4 to fight for the control of the center, gives white a retreat square for the b3 bishop on c2, which allows him to keep the pair of bishops in case moves like Na5 (trying to get the bishop) occurs.
White must generally try to keep his white square bishop in positions of the Spanish and Italian opening, unless he's got a good reason to give it away. [%csl Rb3][%cal Gc3d4,Gd3d4,Gb3c2,Rc6a5,Rc6d4,Ra5b3] } 8... Re8 9. Re1 { A typical idea is to maneuver with the knight via d2-f1-g3, aiming at the key square f5, from which a knight can become a beast in many circumstances.
Re1 centralizes the rook and opens the square f1 for the knight. [%csl Gg3,Rf5,Ge1][%cal Gb1d2,Gd2f1,Gf1g3,Rg3f5,Yf1e1,Yf5g7,Yf5h6,Yf5e7,Yf5d6] } 9... d6 10.

Black doesn't have any weaknesses on the queenside, the white queen is entering a suicidal incursion. [%csl Yc6] [%clk 0:08:59] } 14... Bd7 { [%clk 0:07:26] } 15.
