2.Nf3 Nc6: citing the fact that the K Opening exists
[td]The [[Four Knights Game]] (3.Nc3 Nf6) was also quite popular in the 19th century. It frequently leads to positional games and is generally considered less challenging for Black to defend against than the three lines above. Less commonly, 3....g6 or ...Bb4, (the [[Three Knights Game]]), are possible.[/td] [td][/td]
[td][/td] [td]The [[Ponziani Opening]] (3.c3) was more common before the 20th century and is still occasionally used, largely as a surprise weapon. Other third moves for White such as the [[Konstantinopolsky Opening]] (3.g3), and [[Inverted Hungarian Opening]] (3.Be2) are rarely played and offer White no advantage.[/td]
