Black gains the half-open b-file, but the central pawn structure becomes awkward.

At the most basic level, White's third move attacks the knight that defends the e5-pawn from the attack by the f3-knight.

After 2.Nf3 d5 a variation of the Queen's Pawn Game is possible. After 2.c4 d5 the opening is a Chigorin Defense. There are some lines that are unique to 1.d4 Nc6, most importantly 2.d5 which chases the knight away, usually to e5. The opening resembles an Alekhine's Defence but on the opposite side of the board.
