Description
After 1. c4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. g3 d5, Black declines the opportunity to establish a Catalan pawn structure with 4...dxc4. Instead, Black immediately challenges White's center with 4...d4, aiming to demonstrate that the c4-pawn is misplaced. White will need to defend the pawn with 5. cd Nxd4, allowing Black to achieve easy development and quick counterplay.
