The Levitsky Attack (Queen's Bishop Attack) arises after 1.d4 d5 2.Bg5. ECO code: D00.

Named after Stepan Levitsky. White develops the bishop to g5 before Nf3 or Nc3. Also known as the Veresov Attack when combined with Nc3. The bishop on g5 can pin a future Nf6 and create tactical possibilities. Black responds with ...Nf6, ...c5, or ...e6.
