Fianchetto
The Fianchetto ( pronunciation: [ fian'kɛto ] - from Italian il fianco = the edge) is a term from the game of chess. It refers to the establishment of a runner at the edge of one's figure standing, on one of the two main diagonals of the board, in a specially to be established for " cave " within its own pawn structure.
From this position, the rotor acts on the center and on the center across a on the diagonally opposite opponent's wings. This list of the rotor is very effective and therefore very popular in many opening systems in chess. A Fianchetto train is therefore usually an opening parade as the Königsfianchetto, but he is drawn in the middle game later.
We speak in slang also on " fianchettieren " a runner on. If both runners developed in this way is called a " Doppelfianchetto ", too - sloppy - called " double hole".
