At this point, black must decide how to face white's aggression. Traditionally, the two most popular replies are 1...d5 and 1...Nf6. Other moves tend to allow white a broad center with 2.e4. Allowing the broad center was frowned upon in classical times, but is more of a matter of preference today. Another reason 1...d5 and 1...Nf6 are the main replies considered is that many of the alternatives transpose into main lines anyway. One notable exception is the Dutch Defence: 1...f5 whose character is unique and prevents 2.e4. 1...d5 directly challenges white's plan to establish a broad center. 1...Nf6 prevents an immediate 2.e4 while maintaining flexibility to play a number of "Indian" systems or move back into a system typical of 1...d5.
