Is it good for a specific thing ?

Avatar of Fr3nchToastCrunch

It's considered one of the most solid openings due to its reasonable attempt to attack the center and develop with haste; in particular, it prevents the c-pawn from getting blocked by the queen's knight.

A line that FrenchToastCrunch didn’t talk about: 2. Nf6

It is considered bad though, because after 3. cxd5 Nxd5 4. e4 you have a full center. If Qxd5 Nc3 wins a tempo

wow.. thank you! what do cx and Nx mean?

Avatar of Leto
It’s chess notation. Special language how to avoid writing “knight goes to right corner and it’s eaten by bishop”

N - knight
