Of course many of your more exciteable opponents will try the Schliemann but I am going to recommend an approach which completely takes the wind out of Black&aposs sails. Importantly,Black&aposs kingside attacking chances will be diminished and he will be forced to solve unusual opening problems. 4.d3!

White tries to hit Black before he has time to get his pieces out. This manouvre (Qe2-c4 before Nc3) is an interesting way to justify the often maligned 4.d3. White threatens Nxe5! 8...Bb6

Summarising, the idea of 4 d3 followed by Qe2-c4 is very effective,preventing castling,intimidating the Bishop on c5 and the Knight on c6 and threatening Nxe5.
Black is under pressure right from the off and seems to be quite unable to put his usual attacking ideas into play. 1-0
