REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)

Sep-11-09    fref: It seems that it's not worth playing this variation as White since statistically (using Chessgames Database), Black is doing better. Nov-09-09    Anwulf: Another source of (209) games employing this opening has the stats Black win 35.89%; White win 40.19%; Draw 23.92%. Regardless of the exact variation, 4. a3 does apparently result in games in Black's favour overall. Thus White is, obviously, going to avoid such a move, preferring either 4. Qc2 or 4. e3 (in nearly equal measure according to one database; another places 4. e3 ahead of 4. Qc2 in frequency; either way, such moves seem to benefit White more often than Black).
