Position in Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN)
Moves: 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3

A flexible developing move. While this move usually leads to a Queen's Gambit, it is also used to go into a Colle System—a solid line that prepares e2-e4 earlier and can be more aggressive than the usual lines.

Black can develop a number of ways though 2...Nf6 is most common.
