King's Knight Opening, 1.Ni3

[edit | edit source]

Red plays the slightly unusual move Ni3, perhaps looking for an early knight attack against Green.

Blue's responses

[edit | edit source]

Blue normally wants to develop the queen and bishop(s), so he plays c8 or c7.

1...c8

[edit | edit source]

1...c7
