Queen's Pawn Opening: Torre Attack
1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bg5
In the Torre Attack, White combines the early Nf3 and Bg5 moves, delaying or avoiding c2-c4. This way White develops the pieces actively while maintaining a solid center - and idea opening for those who like active play, but do not want to deal with a lot of theory.
Pros:
- The bishop on g5 pins the Nf6
- White maintains a solid d4-point
- Natural play with little heavy theory
Cons:
- The bishop on g5 can sometimes be traded off
- Does not put Black under a lot of immediate pressure
