Owen defense ..b6,..Bb7 with Nc3 white

Owen Defense B00. Nc3,Nf3,Bd3 lines for white , ..b6,..Bb7,e6,Bb4 for Black


Nc3 gives more options to Black versus quick Bd3,Qe2 with c3/Nd2 options

1..b6,..Bb7 Owen Defense: White repertoire

Official Website

Quick repertoire against b6,Bb7,e6 plans for Black. Owen Defense B00


Main idea is Nf3,Bd3,Qe2 and not playing e4-e5 too quickly.
Another tip is not committing to Nc3 early: maybe c3,Nd2 are needed. No Bb4 for Black

Main Game is Dorfman-Miles 1992 where I am giving improvements for white - Black ended up winning that game. Also C. Bauer move order 6 d5!? with e4,d4,Bd3,Qe2,Nf3 is worth noting
