3...d5: development with Nf3
Black chooses 3...d5 and a solid setup
Train full lineThe plan
Nf3 is a natural alternative to Qf3: less concrete, but easy to play and focused on development.
- Develop without blocking the queen
- Aim Bd3 at h7
- Castle quickly and pressure the centre
Watch out
- Black equalises if White plays without energy
- Keep the e5 pawn well supported
