Slav Defence[edit | edit source]
3...Nf6[edit | edit source]
Moves: 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6
Black plays the natural developing move Nf6, which is invariably the best square for the black knight in the Slav. On f6, the knight exerts control over the e4 square as well as re-inforcing protection of the d5 square.
