3. Nf3 · Endgame offer

[edit | edit source]

This variation is called the Endgame offer because, more often than not, the players will now trade their pawns and queens.

3...dxe4, eliminating the tension, is the most common move. After 4. dxe4 Qxd1+ 5. Kxd1 the endgame is reached. White still has an opportunity to avoid the endgame with 4. Ng5!?, a trappy line similar to the Tennison gambit in the Scandinavian defence.

If Black wishes to keep the queens on the board, they may want to remove their queen from the d-file (3...Qc7) before taking or just leave the central tension: 3...Bg4 and 3...g6 (intending 4...Bg7) have both been played.
