Black is waiting for an opportunity to develop his queen side bishop without giving up his d5-pawn: 4. Nf3 Bg4, often switching into a "french" structure after moves like 5. Be2 e6 6. O-O Nf6 7. e5 Nfd7 followed by ...c5, ...Nc6 and ...Qb6. Other options for white are the transpositions into the

3.Nc3 and 3.Nd2 usually transpose into each other after 3...dxe4 4.Nxe4. Since the 1970s, 3.Nd2 has increased in popularity to avoid the
