1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3?
I can't rememeber what the reason was behind 3.g3. It's in my notes somewhere. I got the notes from a Roman DVD.
It had something to do with the h1-a8 diagonal.

And I can't remember why there are playing 3.g3 over the other moves. It's in my notes but it had something to do with the diagonal.

Originally posted by RahimKYes, of course that is the move order. And if that was your question then why is there a stupid sarcastic comment in your post?

Originally posted by cmsMaster3.g3 makes it a Catalan Opening I think. Try looking at that.

I played it in a correspondence game I just started and MY reasoning was: I wanted to try out the 4-P’s Attack against the K-Indian, but when my opponent played 2…e6, I didn’t want to play against the Nimzo. Maybe this is the first time in my life I thought like a grandmaster?! (Except for the 4-P’s Attack thing)

Originally posted by GorgarInteresting fact about the Catalan opening: it was created 'on demand'. In 1929, the organisers of a chess tournament in Catalunia, Spain, asked Tartakower to create a dedicated opening variation. He did and came up with this Catalan opening. Not the most frequently opening played, but most top GM's have played it from time to time.
Yes,it makes it the Catalan.They play g3 to avoid the nimzo.
