Arkhangelsk Defence (or Archangel Defence) (ECO C78) was invented by Soviet
theoreticians in the city of Arkhangelsk. The variation begins 3...a6 4.Ba4
Nf6 5.0-0 b5 6.Bb3 Bb7. This line often leads to sharp positions in which
Black hopes that the fianchettoed bishop's influence on the center and
kingside will offset Black's delay in castling. White has several options,
including attempting to build an ideal pawn centre with c3 and d4, defending
the e-pawn with Re1 or simply developing. The Arkhangelsk Defence is
tactically justified by Black's ability to meet 7.Ng5 with 7...d5 8.exd5 Nd4!
