(2) In White's second turn, he moves a Kt. to QB3 and the student sees at once that it is the QKt. that he has moved, as the KKt. could not be moved to that square in his first move. Black follows with a similar move to that of White, and from the positions that the two Knights occupy upon the board, it will be seen that each protects his own Pawn or commands the square occupied by his Pawn.

3, P—B4
P×P


(3) White's third move is to place his Bishop's Pawn on his Bishop's fourth square, and as his Queen's Knight occupies his QB4 it is evident that the move is made with the KBP. The student will see that this Pawn is now in a position to be captured by Black's KP, but this offering of a Pawn on White's part will gain for him a later advantage.
