Example 17.—Suppose we begin:

1. P - K 4 P - K 4
2. Kt - K B 3

This is both an attacking and a developing move. Black can now either reply with the identical move or play

2. ........ Kt - Q B 3

This developing move at the same time defends the King's Pawn.

3. Kt - B 3 Kt - B 3

These moves are of a purely developing nature.

4. B - Kt 5

It is generally advisable not to bring this Bishop out until one Knight is out, preferably the King's Knight. The Bishop could also have been played to B 4, but it is advisable whenever possible to combine development and attack.
