About this opening
The Breyer Variation (1.e4 c6 2.d3) adopts a quiet reversed-King's-Indian setup: White supports e4 with d3 and develops Nd2, g3 and Bg2 for maneuvering play. The idea is to avoid the dense Caro-Kann theory and play on understanding. Flexible and non-committal, it is a positional option favored by players who like clear plans.
