Get the The Ali G Defence mug.The Shestostani Defence (also known as the Shesto–Yakub Defence) is a rare and unconventional chess opening for White, characterized by the early center pawn move e3 followed by Nf3, then d3 and Nc3, finalized by the moves Bd2 and Be2. A typical move order is 1. e3 g6 2. d3 3. Nf3 4. Nc3 5. Be2 6. Bd2, although other sequences are possible. It is considered a hypermodern and provocative system where White deliberately spends a tempo on a defensive move to limit Black's options and prepare a flexible, potentially fortified center.
Notable Games and Practitioners The opening is primarily associated with its creators, Shesto and Yakub, and has been featured in their online games. It has not been adopted by any notable grandmasters in classical play, but it occasionally appears in online content focused on unusual openings.
Example Line A representative line showcasing the Shestostani idea: 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. a3 d6 4. Nf3 Nf6 5. Nc3 O-O 6. Be2 White has achieved a solid, if somewhat passive, position reminiscent of a slow Pirc/Modern variation, but with the slight peculiarity of the a3 move included
