Position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN)
Moves: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Bb4

Vienna Game, Zhuravlev Countergambit

[edit | edit source]

This move attempts to attack the powerful c3 knight, and if the d pawn moves, the knight will be pinned. More often, this move is played a bit later, but this variation is still playable.

3. d4 is playable, but not considered the best, other moves like 3. Bc4 and 3. Nd5 are considered better
