In this video, IM Alex Astaneh is covering the Hungarian Defense of the Italian game opening. This variation is characterized by black's move 3...Be7 and is a rare option as it leads to a rather passive play. Having the bishop on the e7-square is not unusual in the Italian Game, however the move order chosen by grandmasters like Magnus Carlsen is 3...Nf6 4.d3 Be7.
The main focus of this video is on the best play after black's last moves:
5:15 4...exd4
7:34 4...d6
