Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...c5/2. Nf3/2...d6/3. Nc3

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

3. Nc3 is a flexible choice, which leaves Black with the decision making process. White can still go for the Open Sicilian with d4 break, or a closed setup with g3, or something like the canal attack or rossolimo with Bb5.
