3...cxd5

[edit | edit source]

This is Black's best option, accepting a symmetrical position.

While normal development moves will suffice, White can try to make it harder for Black to get the light-squared bishop out by delaying the combination of Nf3 and e3, which would allow Black to pin the knight to the queen with Bg4.

The most popular continuation for White is the combination of Nc3, Bf4 and e3. Usually White starts with 4. Nc3 which is more flexible than the immediate, but totally viable, 4. Bf4.
