The oldest move, which is considered passive but playable. The fact that White can play Nb5 to attack the queen again is not a big deal for Black because it wastes time for White as well. It is generally more flexible than the other options and Black often obtains an imbalanced position including, if possible, queenside castling. This move only becomes more popular over time. However this is not the only way to play the position see below how GM Viswanathan Anand treated the opening at the 1995 World Championship. The pawns on c6 and e6 create a solid structure for Black. c6 to drop the queen back to c7 at some point, develops the light-squared bishop to f5 or g4 before playing a pawn to e6. The temptation as Black on move three may be to check the white king down the e-file, but this is considered inferior to three main alternatives. White actually has several reasonable options here, but by far the most common is 3.Nc3, immediately asking Black why the queen exposed herself so soon. The arrows represent Black's best options on move three.
The former of these options breaks the rule, often taught to players just starting out, of not developing the queen too early. Because Black loses some time, he is in danger of a quick knockoutīlack has two main second moves: recapturing with 2.Qxd5, or playing 2.Nf6 planning to recapture with the knight.After the capture 2.exd5, Black loses time recapturing.Usually both black bishops have freedom.
