In the below game, White plays 6.c4, which is the prime alternative to 6.Nc3. As a result, the game is more positional in nature. By playing 6.c4, White obtains a bind on the position by controlling d5 and b5, and in exchange for this bind, White accepts a permanent weakness at d4, where Black will attempt to post a minor piece. The Kalashnikov has been essayed by more than a few Super GMs over the years; its most recognizable adherents are Shirov and Radjabov.
