A typical maneuver in this line. The knight heads for c6 via c2-b4, if Black plays a5, it gets an outpost on b5.

🔹 Daniel J. King
🔹 Chess Grandmaster
♦️ Daniel John King is an English chess grandmaster, writer, coach, journalist and broadcaster.
🔸 Full name: Daniel John King
🔸 Country: England
🔸 Born: 28 August 1963 (age 54)
Beckenham, England
🔸 Title: Grandmaster (1989)
🔸 FIDE rating: 2466 (March 2018)
🔸 Peak rating: 2560 (July 1990)
♦️ When King was most active as a player of the game, he made solid progress, picking up the International Master title in 1982 and the Grandmaster title in 1989. King won minor tournaments around the world and recorded promising results at some of the more prestigious events, for example 4th= at Bern 1987, 4th= British Championship 1987, 1st= (with Boris Gelfand) at the Sydney Open 1988, 5th= London 1988, 2nd= Dortmund 1988 and 2nd (after Bent Larsen) London 1989. At the Geneva Young Masters in 1990, he shared first place with the Australian Ian Rogers. There then followed a parallel media career that spanned the presenter, commentator, reporter, analyst spectrum and this most likely impacted on his playing career, by limiting the opportunity for dedicated research and study. Nevertheless, as a professional player for more than 20 years, he has continued to play chess at a high level, including the top leagues of the Bundesliga and 4NCL. In 1996, he was the winner of the Bunratty Masters, an Irish tournament with an impressive list of previous winners, including John Nunn, Sergei Tiviakov and Peter Svidler.
