Chess grandmaster Jan Gustafsson presents a new opening for White: 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.c3. This sequence of moves allows the system to be brought onto the board after both 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.c3 and 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 d5 3.c3, which increases the chances of using it in a game. Although it seems inconspicuous at first glance, this opening is full of treacherous pitfalls. This move was successfully used by the new world champion Ding Liren in his World Championship playoff against Ian Nepomniachtchi, giving him a significantly better position. This opening eliminates the tedious study of the Queen's Gambit, the Slav Defense and many other systems.
