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.
The term "Queen's Pawn Game" was then narrowed down to any opening with 1.d4 which was not a Queen's Gambit. Eventually, through the efforts of the hypermodernists , the various Indian Defences (such as the King's Indian , Nimzo-Indian , and Queen's Indian ) became more popular, and as these openings were named, the term "Queen's Pawn Game ...

This opening is an example of a hypermodern opening in which Black invites White to occupy the centre of the board at an early stage with pawns. [1] Black's intent is to block or otherwise restrain White's central pawns and, if allowed to do so by inaccurate play by White, eventually undermine the White pawn centre by well-timed pawn advances ...
The Danvers Opening hinders this by forcing Black (unless they want to sacrifice a pawn) to first defend the e-pawn (usually with 2...Nc6), then 3.Bc4 forces Black to make some compromise to defend against the mate threat; 3...g6 commits Black to fianchettoing the king bishop, 3...Qe7 blocks the bishop, and 3...Qf6 occupies knight's best square.
