If White does not play 3.Nc3, your queen is not attacked, so do not move it. Develop with …Nf6 and wait: when White plays Nc3, …Qa5 brings you back to the main lines.

Picking up where you left off.
Four lines, two of them core:
- 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.Nc3 Qa5 (core)
- 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.d4: prepare with …c6 (important)
- 3.d4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Qa5 (core)
- 3.Be2 Nf6 4.Bf3 Qa5 (deeper)
Learn takes up to five new lines at a time, core lines first. When the chapter is learned, practise it from memory.
