5. Nf3
[edit | edit source]White develops their knight and seems to have an iron grip on the centre. All their pawns are defended and they have no weaknesses.
5...O-O is the main move. After getting their king to safety, Black is finally ready to strike back at the centre.
Castling is an important preparatory move. If 5...e5? immediately, Black gets the worse of it after 6. dxe5 dxe5 7. Qxd8+ Kxd8 8. Nxe5 Nxe4 9. Nxe4 Bxe5 10. Bg5+ Ke8 ±.
