In the late 1980s and early 1990s the chess world experienced a g2-g4 revolution in the opening. In a number of openings, from the Semi-Slav over the Philidor and to the English, White players pushed the g-pawn forward early on in the game, often before move 10. I wrote about this in my book How Chess Games are Won and Lost. At first sight this thrust seemed to violate the classic opening principles of development, center, and king safety, but in reality the g2-g4-g5 push often had to do with the center the Black knight on f6 is pushed away from the center.
