Most popular responses

  • 2...Nf6 (Queen's Pawn Opening) White's main options: A move like 3. Nc3 is certainly not bad, but it doesn't put much pressure on black. White's c-pawn plays a key role in control of the center, and moving the knight to c3 earlier usually allows black easy equality. Lichess Analysis - Wikibooks (48602390 games)
