Symmetrical …Bf5
Black copies you with …Bf5. Copying has a cost: the bishop has left c8, so b7 can become weak, and the bishop on f5 is Black's best minor piece. Your plan: Bd3 to trade it off, then use the e4 break, or the queen against b7.

Picking up where you left off.
Three lines, one of them core:
- …Bxd3: recapture with the queen (core)
- …Bg6: castle and keep the tension (important)
- …Bf5 with an early …c5 (important)
Learn takes up to five new lines at a time, core lines first. When the chapter is learned, practise it from memory.
Lesson complete
Nice work.
