The Bishop's Opening is a chess opening that begins with the moves: . 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4. White attacks Black's f7-square and prevents Black from advancing the d-pawn to d5.

White has several different attacking schemes available, but the one considered most dangerous is the Keres Attack, [2] named after GM Paul Keres, which continues 6.g4.This move takes advantage of the fact that 5...e6 cuts off the black’s light squared bishop's control of g4, and plans to force the knight on f6, Black's only developed piece, to retreat.
