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

2...Nf6

Black isn't trying to capture White's knight with 1... d5, but plays more reliably. 1... Nf6 may be transposition to the Vienna game or four knights game. Also is may be transposition to Pirc defence, to closed game Chigorin variation, or to the modern Scandinavian defence.
