Ruy Lopez: Open, Motzko Attack, Nenarokov Variation

In the Ruy Lopez: Open, Motzko Attack, Nenarokov Variation, white wants to play e4 to gain control of the center of the board and create space for his pieces to develop. This move also puts pressure on black's knight on e4, which can be captured with the knight on f3, leading to a pawn trade and opening up lines for white's queen and bishop. Additionally, playing e4 frees the bishop on c1 and allows it to be developed to a stronger position on b2 or c3.

Playing e5 in response to e4 is a common move among black players as it aims to control the center of the board and contest white's claim to it. By moving the pawn forward, black creates more space for his own pieces to develop. Additionally, e5 attacks the pawn on e4, which forces white to make a decision on how to defend it. If white responds with d3, it locks in the bishop on c1 and prevents it from being immediately developed. If white plays d4, then it creates a tense situation where both sides are vying for control of the center.

When playing 1. e4 e5, white's second move Nf3 aims to develop the knight to a more central position and control the square d4, which is an important point in the center of the board. By moving the knight, white also creates the possibility of playing d4 later in the game, which would further exert control over the center. Additionally, Nf3 puts pressure on the pawn on e5, attacking it twice, which makes it difficult for black to defend it with his pieces alone. In sum, Nf3 is a useful and flexible move that allows white to keep his options open and maintain strong control over the center of the board.

Additionally, the knight on c6 adds pressure on the pawn at d4, which will be an important battleground for control of the center in the upcoming moves. Nc6 also supports the idea of attacking the pawn on e5 with moves like d6 in the future, which could force white to make concessions in order to maintain control over the center.
