Look at complete games , you can group them first if you want but not necesarily, and try to determine what each move is really doing, a hint its not conceptual it is te specific thing it does say control e5(d4) then contrlol e4 (knf6) to stop an e4 pawn pushing, control d5 (c4) , e6(control d5) to help stop or weak a posible d5 push by white , knc3(prepare e4 push anyway) , Bb4 stop the e4 push anyway or c5 stop the e4 push anyway and put whites center in the spot. stuff like that. every move has a specific reason they are not just conceptual. regardz |
