Subject: Re: 2...Bf5

HalfPawn:The reason this is bad for black is that after 4. cd, white has a flexible center and two pawns against one in the center. Best, I think, is 2...c3, where 3. cd cd equalizes and where black often can safely play Bf5. Most common though is 2...e3.

Subject: Re:

HalfPawn: I think 3.Nc3 is a better move. After 2...Bf5, the white player can attack the squares "d5" and "b7" with Nc3 and Qb3 so it´s not a good defense for the black.
