The ...Na6 Side Development in the Closed Catalan/Queen's Indian
This knight to the side method of development is a trademark of GM Tiviakov. The idea is to support ...c5 but without blocking the central files as ...Nbd7 would.
GM Sergei Tiviakov
GM Tiviakov played a nice game with the following middlegame themes in rd12 Bundesliga action.
- Slight lead in development
- Play against a misplaced piece
- Conversion of an extra P
- Opposite color bishops
9...Na6
