Gunderam Defence

edit

Also known as the Brazilian Defense or the Câmara Defense. This move attempts to defend Black's e-pawn, but in doing so it shuts the king's bishop in.

2... Qe7

edit

The idea for Black is to transpose into a King's Indian Defence [source needed], but with forceful play this option is not entirely possible.

Black could also play 3...c6,4...d6,5...Bg4 or 5...h6 and develop slowly but surely.
