About the Inner Doll Defense

The Inner Doll Defense departs from 5...b5, the usual reply in the 150 Attack, with 5...Bg4. Black develops the light-squared bishop outside the pawn chain before committing to ...Bg7, keeping the compact ...c6 and ...d6 structure. White, still to move, can challenge the bishop with f2-f3 or h2-h3, gaining time at the cost of slightly loosening the kingside before queenside castling.
