Fischer's Suggestion: 3.h4!?
Bobby Fischer suggests the move 3.h4!? as an enterprising try against 1...g6 2.d4 Bg7, in his annotation to a game against Pal Benko. (Fischer played 3.Nc3 in the actual game.) The idea is to pry open Black's kingside by h4–h5 followed by hxg6 (...gxh5 would greatly weaken the cover to Black's king) with an ensuing kingside assault.

Famous quotes containing the word fischer:
“Man, became man through work, who stepped out of the animal kingdom as transformer of the natural into the artificial, who became therefore the magician, man the creator of social reality, will always stay the great magician, will always be Prometheus bringing fire from heaven to earth, will always be Orpheus enthralling nature with his music. Not until humanity itself dies will art die.”
—Ernst Fischer (1899–1972)
