Daniel Maxwell introduced me to a word I'd never heard before a while back.
'Prophylaxis'
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophylaxis_(chess">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophylaxis_(chess</a><!-- m -->)
Link won't complete in full. Need to add last bracket ) on to get to link.
I'm not a strong enough player to comment upon a game of 2 strong Scottish players but I think there have been quite a lot of preventative moves being made. Normal in Chess I guess.
A good understanding of when to play these moves could be useful for up and coming juniors?
