STUDY POSITION 1

This is the first training position taken from Dvoretsky`s Analytical Manual.  He urges his readers to try playing this initial position from both sides against strong players, presumably a computer programme would do nicely. First as white then as black. 

He supplies about 12 pages of analysis on this position alone.  It is white to move.
