Position after 7... Qxc6

Main line

The chapter's main line, with the comments from the course.

1. e4 c6 2. f4
The King's Indian Attack setup with f4. This happens a lot in amateur games, but White's just making things worse by weakening the kingside for no reason.
2... d5 3. e5
White pushes for space in the center, the standard follow-up to the f4 setup.
3... c5
Strike back right away! Just like in the main Advance Variation, we hit the center with c5 and then develop quickly with ...Nc6 and ...Bg4.
4. Nf3 Nc6 5. Bb5
White's go-to move in online games.
5... Bg4 6. O-O Qb6 7. Bxc6+ Qxc6
