Chess Opening Theory/1. d4/1...Nf6/2. Nc3
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.
