08 From Gambit - 3..Nc6

08 - Updated 11 November 2025

3..Nc6 is an extremely popular move. After 4 e4 Black has the choice of playing ..Bg4 or transposing to other lines. Objectively, it is best for White to pin the QN, but I do have a few lines where White plays Bc4, anticipating King's Gambit fun, attacking the f7-square.
