This flexible move leads to the great Indian Defence crossroads. After 3.Nc3, Black can play 3...Bb4 (Nimzo-Indian Defence), while after 3.Nf3, Black chooses between 3...b6 (Queen\'s Indian Defence), 3...Bb4+ (Bogo-Indian Defence), or 3...d5 (Queen\'s Gambit Declined). This is one of the most important and commonly reached positions in all of opening theory.
