Discussion for move 4.

The previous move is here!

4. Nf3 Nf6

I don't know anything about chess, but I say Nf6. Huzzah. Captainmnb

I do know something about chess and I say Nf6. It developes another piece to the center, provides additional support for our pawn at d5, and allows us the option of a kingside castle. ~Mec

Mec is correct I'm for this as well. ~DFA

Nf6 also keeps us in opening theory, which is extremely advisable...

Nf6 also gives us control over e4, which is advisable as we do not want him to advance the king's pawn.

Nf6 is the proper move, it develops a knight, and allows us to castle Kingside eventualy. Plus, it also prevents him from further advancing on the center with 5. e4 or 5. g4 (he should have moved Bc2, but that's just him making a positional mistake, he's ours) ßrigade^rant

4. Nf3 Nc6

• Another hardcharging knight move that protects our wayward bishop. This is just speculative though as it could trap our pawns from advancing and leave our bishop in closed territory. We could also put this at a6. What do you think? ~Mec

• Our bishop doesn't need protecting at this juncture, and this knight doesn't threaten anything (the pawn at d4 is covered by both his Nf3 Knight as well as his Queen) .. better to develop the other Knight first and prepare to castle eventually. ßrigade^rant
