1.Nf3

The King's Knight Opening is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3, and I've never heard 1.Nf3 called anything but the Reti Opening. So I'm going to remove the redirect and put some stuff about 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3. Sim man 00:00, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(@MaxBrowne2:) I don't think this page is really doing anything besides duplicating information at Open Game. So maybe it should be changed away from a disambiguation page to have more information on side lines of 2.Nf3 Nc6? And then Gunderam Defense, Damiano Defence, Greco Defence, Konstantinopolsky Opening, Tayler Opening (Inverted Hungarian) could become sections here, and Butch-Gass could become a new section. Also could get Irish Gambit merged in with this. Dayshade (talk) 17:47, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the history of the article, it's totally redundant. It was originally created by Sjakkalle (what happened to him?) as a redirect, under the false impression that it referred to 1.Nf3. Instead of correcting the redirect to Open Game, someone decided it was a good idea to reproduce a whole lot of material that was already better covered in Open Game. Rather than exanding this, we need to trash it and make it a redirect to Open Game. After all nobody calls 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 the King's Knight Opening in real life, and it's liable to cause confusion with 1.Nf3. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 09:27, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I agree. Let's see if anyone disagrees. Dayshade (talk) 03:10, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The original 1.Nf3 redirect now points to the more appropriate article on the Zukertort Opening. I agree that this article can be merged with Open Game. After 1.e4 e5, 2.Nf3 is by far the most common move, and probably because of that, it is not so much an identifiable opening at this point, nor is the position after the most usual move 2...Nc6. It is at this point when moves such as 3.Bb5, 3.Bc4 or 3.d4 make for identifiable and notable openings. Sjakkalle (Check!) 05:33, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
