'The Sniper is a dynamic and universal opening weapon for Black which can be used against all mainline openings. Black’s system of development with ...g6 and ...Bg7 initially allows White to occupy the centre but, in true hypermodern style, Black strikes back immediately with ...c5. The Sniper can lead to original or barely-known positions in which Black can strive for the initiative. It’s also rich in move-order possibilities, with potential transpositions into Sicilian, King’s Indian or Benko-type positions.
