The opening starts with a pawn move to d4, followed by fianchettoing the king's bishop and developing the knight. White then plays e3 to support the center and prepares to develop the light-squared bishop. Black responds by fianchettoing their own bishop and challenging White's center with a pawn move. White exchanges pawns in the center to open up lines for their pieces. After Black's queen move, White gains a tempo by attacking the queen with their bishop. This forces Black to make a decision on how to defend their queen while White continues to develop their pieces. The position that arises from this opening is one where White has a solid pawn structure and good piece coordination, while Black has a flexible setup with potential counterplay opportunities.
