54 Maroczy - 2 Nf3 3 Nc3/Misc

White simply develops logically. If he plays d4 quickly, the game will transpose to Antoshin lines. If White plays Bc4 and d3, which I would call the Four Knights Italian, then I think Black has an opportunity to play ..c5 and put a lock on the center.

Good Chess! Keith
