The diagram here does not really display a typical fianchetto, especially with regard to the pawn structure. I think a King's Indian Attack/Defense type formation would be more illustrative, or maybe just pawns f2,g3,h2 and a bishop on g2 on an otherwise empty board. Cjpuffin 21:35, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I like the diagram. My only qualm is that all of them are in one picture. It makes it look like all three actually happened in a game. Splitting them into three diagram snipets would be nice. This link is Broken 20:06, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm also not too happy with the diagram, it's a pretty confusing board. Nicolasdz 15:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I think at the position in the article black should play Bb7xg2(assuming it's black to move). attacking white's rook99.229.166.154 23:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suggested Diagram
Perhaps a position from an actual game? At this position, Nimzowitsch amusingly points out (in My System): "Each side castles now with a clear conscience, for not even the most hypermodern pair of masters can produce more than four fianchettoed Bishops!"
From Rubinstein-Nimzowitsch, Marienbad 1925
