About this opening
The Schlutter Defense (5...Nbd7) develops the queen's knight to d7 in a compact scheme, preparing ...e6, ...Be7 and ...O-O. Black aims to quietly absorb the pressure and keep the extra pawn without exposure to complications. It is a solid, flexible reply to the accepted Blackmar-Diemer, close in spirit to the Euwe Defense.
