𝐀𝐝𝐝-𝐎𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐫: Paulsen Variation 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Ne7 7.h4!? This move spent a long time in the shadows of the main line (7.Qg4), but with the brief emergence of AlphaZero who seemed pretty keen to push the h-pawn in most openings, it's perhaps not that surprising to see this move gaining in popularity recently. The other benefit is to avoid all of the crazy theory in the main poisoned pawn variation, where black is currently in good shape. Don't be fooled, this move is a very serious try to get an advantage out of the opening, it's not just some "trend", it's doing so well in fact, that it might very well become the new main line!
