I hate this opening with a PASSION. It is by far my most hated opening, I really, really hate it.
It is this horrible thing: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3. Nc3!!!
I am aware of 3. dxe5 and also 3. e3 and I know how to respond to those.
But this Nc3 stuff is like a Queens gambit declined, except for the unfortunate fact that my pawn is on e5 instead of e6.
I tried to look this opening up, and I couldn't find it. Please somebody, this terrible thing has to have a name, and I really need some advice on how to proceed if white plays this.
I may have to analyze and name it myself! It is not an Albin counter gambit, nor is it a QGD or QGA....but whatever it is, I hate it.
