The Queen's Knight Defense (also known as the Nimzowitsch Queen Pawn Defense, Bogoljubov–Mikenas Defense, or Lundin Defense) is a chess opening defined by the moves: 1. d4 Nc6. Unless the game transposes to another opening, the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings code for the Queen's Knight Defense is A40.
If White wants to continue with a Queen's Pawn Game however, 2.c4 and 2.Nf3 usually transpose to a familiar opening such as the Queen's Gambit Declined, Nimzo-Indian or Queen's Indian. A line that is unique to the 1...e6 move order is the Keres Defence, 1.d4 e6 2.c4 Bb4+.
