1...Nf6

[edit | edit source]

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 a transposition to the Pirc defence, to closed game Chigorin variation, or to the modern Scandinavian defence. 2. g4? is a Tübingen gambit. After 2...Nxg4 3. e4 White takes center, but losses the pawn and opens their king.
