Modern Defence
White must now decide which pawn structure he will adopt. The most flexible move is 3. Nc3, giving White some time before deciding. However, it denies the access to the Averbakh Variation (3. c4), the Geller's System(3. c3 and 4. Nf3) and the Three Pawns Attack (3. c3 and 4. f4).
3. Nf3 is also possible and will transpose early into the other variations.
