1. d4 {he Richter–Veresov Attack (or Veresov Opening) is a chess opening
that begins with the moves: 1. d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Bg5 It is also often
reached by transposition, for example 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Bg5 (the most common
move order), 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 d5 3.Nc3, or 1.Nc3 Nf6 2.d4 d5 3.Bg5. The
opening was named after the German International Master Kurt Richter and later
the Soviet master Gavriil Veresov, who played it frequently for over a quarter
of a century. Along with the Trompowsky Attack, Colle System, London System,
and Torre Attack, the Richter–Veresov Attack is one of the more common
branches of the Queen's Pawn Game. The more popular Ruy Lopez opening looks
like a Richter–Veresov Attack mirrored on the queenside, but the dynamics of
play are quite different.} Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bg5 Nbd7 4. Qd3 (4. Nf3 g6 5. e3
