[3] [4] It releases the king's bishop, and makes a modest claim in the centre (supporting a future d4), but the move is somewhat passive compared to the much more common King's Pawn Game (1.e4). The queen's bishop's development is somewhat obstructed by the pawn on e3, and White usually wants to take more than a modest stake of the centre.

For example, Harry Golombek, in Capablanca's 100 Best Games of Chess (1947), gave a question mark to Black's fourth move in the line 1.e4 c5 2.Ne2 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6, a form of the Accelerated Dragon variation of the Sicilian Defence, stating that 4...Nf6 was "necessary" to make White block his c-pawn with 5.Nc3 and thus avoid the Bind.
The Inverted Hungarian is even rarer than the already very uncommon Hungarian Defense, although it is perfectly playable for White. It may appeal to White players who wish to avoid extensively analyzed double king pawn openings such as the Ruy Lopez, and to those who favor defensive positional maneuvering battles as also often result from the Hungarian Defense.
The King's Knight Opening is a chess opening consisting of the moves: . 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3. White's second move attacks the e-pawn. Black usually defends this with 2...Nc6, which leads to several named openings.
The Bishop's Opening is a chess opening that begins with the moves: . 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4. White attacks Black's f7-square and prevents Black from advancing the d-pawn to d5. By ignoring the beginner's maxim "develop knights before bishops", White leaves their f-pawn unblocked, preserving the possibility of f2–f4.
