This lesson will look at how Magnus Carlsen as black plays against the white dark square bishop.

The Plan:

1. Trade the light square bishops
2. Take control over e5 by pushing away the c4-knight
3. Trade the dark bishop for one of white’s knights
4. Play …e5 to restrict the bishop
5. Stabilise with …f6
6. …Ne4 with …Rd3 will then be a major threat
