Position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN)
Moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3

2.Nc3

[edit | edit source]

White develops his Queen's Knight to support 3.e4, sometimes called the Veresov Opening. After Black's usual reply 2...d5, White may respond with 3.Bg5, leading to the Richter-Veresov Attack. Often transposes into the Chigorin Defence, the French Defence, or less commonly the Pirc Defence.

This position may also be reached via the move order 1.Nc3 Nf6 2.d4
