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
