Train it in TheoriaAbout the Ciesielski Variation
The Ciesielski Variation meets the attack on d4 with 8. Qf2, defending the pawn with the queen while keeping it on the half-open f-file. The drawback is that Black can prepare ...e5 without difficulty, as in 8...Nbd7 9. Bd3 e5. The quieter 8...e6 is by far the most common reply. The engine regards the position as roughly balanced, though White scores well in online games.
