By playing e4, white is setting up for a strong and aggressive game while also maintaining a solid foundation for future moves. This opening can lead to a variety of different positions and tactics, making it a popular choice for players who like to keep their opponents guessing.

Black plays e5 in response to e4 as it mirrors white's central control and offers an equal struggle for control. By mirroring white's move, black avoids being cramped by white's center pawns and asserts their own stake to the center of the board. Additionally, e5 opens up the possibilities for black's dark-squared bishop and queen to gain access to the board. This move sets the stage for a tense and dynamic game where both players have the opportunity to fight for control of the center and launch strategic attacks.

White plays Nc3 after the opening moves of e4 e5 to develop their knight towards the center of the board and to prepare for the advancement of their d-pawn. This move also puts pressure on Black's e5 pawn, which can sometimes lead to tactics and threats later in the game. Additionally, Nc3 supports the possibility of playing d4 in one move, rather than retreating the knight back to its initial position, saving valuable tempos. In sum, Nc3 is a versatile move that provides White with several options and helps to control the center of the board.

In the Bishop's Opening: Vienna Hybrid, Spielmann Attack, Black plays Nf6 after white's move of Nc3 as it develops a piece and prepares to contest the center. Nf6 also puts pressure on white's e4 pawn which is currently only defended by the queen. Additionally, the knight on f6 has the potential to threaten white's d5 square and, in some cases, supports the idea of playing d5 in one turn. Playing Nf6 also avoids placing the knight on d7 where it could become blocked by a pawn later in the game. In sum, Nf6 is a flexible move that allows black to control the center and provides several options for future moves.

White plays Bc4 after the opening moves of e4, e5, Nc3, and Nf6 for several reasons. Firstly, it develops the bishop with the potential to pressure black's kingside. The bishop also adds to the overall center control that white has established with their previous moves. Bc4 also pins the knight on f6 to the queen, which can make it more difficult for black to play d6. This move can make it difficult for black to develop a dark-squared bishop as it can become trapped on f8. In sum, playing Bc4 is a strong developing move that adds pressure to black's position and aims to control the center of the board.

Black plays Bc5 after white's move of Bc4 to challenge white's bishop and assert their own control on the board. Additionally, Bc5 develops a piece to a good square and attacks white's f2 square, which could potentially create a weakness in white's pawn structure. The move also sets up possibilities for future tactics involving the pinned knight on f3. Playing Bc5 also supports the idea of playing d6 and e5, which would strengthen black's pawn structure in the center and control more space on the board. In sum, Bc5 is a flexible move that develops a piece, exerts pressure on white's position, and sets up options for future play.

In the Bishop's Opening: Vienna Hybrid, Spielmann Attack, White plays d3 to create a solid pawn structure and protect the pawn on e4.

Playing d3 also avoids the possible threat of Black's pawn pushing to d4 and opening up the diagonal for their queen to put pressure on the white position. In sum, d3 is a solid move that provides White with a flexible pawn structure and maintains control over the center of the board.
