Every move explained

• e5: The classical answer: match them in the center, develop fast, castle early. Chess the way it was meant to be learned.
• Nc6: Defend e5 while developing — never defend passively when a developing move does the job.
• Nf6: Copy them. Develop the knight, cover the center, and let White be the one who has to find a plan.
