[edit | edit source]This is a principled move similar to the King's Indian Attack that allows White to fianchetto a bishop next move. Black's most popular response is 2...Nf6 followed by 3...g6 3...d6, or 3...e6 to protect the f-pawn but Black could also prepare 3...e5 with 2...d6 to take the center.
