Richter-Veresov Attack
1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bg5
The Veresov Attack is not the typical 1.d4-opening. White goes for fast development and often the players castle on opposite sides of the board. White's play revolves around the e4-square - often he tries to push through e2-e4.
Pros:
- Unusual
- May lead to an attack
- Provocative
Cons:
- Blocks the c-pawn
- May allow a ...Bb4 pin
- Risky
