The Petrov (also known as the Russian game or Russian defense) is the strongest alternative to Nc6 black has at his disposal!
The opening was named after Alexandar Petrov, a Russian master from the 19th century. Its other name, the Russian, came about because it was popular in the Soviet Union and popularized by Soviet players.
The Petrov Defense is the second most common way to meet 1. e4, Nf3 by white. Instead of simply defending his e5 pawn with Nc6, by far the most common continuation, in the Petrov black counter attacks instead, and creates a threat of his own. By playing 2...Nf6, black is putting pressure on the e4 pawn.
The opening has a reputation (and rightfully so) for being equal, drawish, and not too exciting. The reason for that is that the pawn structure which results out of it is most often completely symmetrical, which gives neither side too many attacking chances. The second reason is that the queens tend to get traded off early on.
Despite that, many strong players have employed it successfully. A special mention should be given to Fabiano Caruana, one of the main exponents of the opening among the world’s elite grandmasters today. He uses it over and over again and achieves great results. By great, I mostly mean draws (which is considered a success with black at 2800 level).
The Petrov is, therefore, a peaceful alternative to theory rich Ruy Lopez or the Italian, and with it you can avoid tons of opening theory and reduce your preparation significantly. The fact that it results in symmetrical or queenless middlegames doesn’t mean that you automatically play for a draw though (especially on lower levels), and it can still be a fighting defense for black!
After the opening moves: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6,
white has three options:
3. Nc3 Three Knights Game - this move is interesting, but, depending on what black does, it can transpose to the four knights and be equal, which makes it a less attractive move for white.
3. d4 Modern Attack (Steinitz) - an interesting sideline, great for putting the Petrov player on the back foot and getting him out of his comfort zone.
3. Nxe5 - the main move. After this move, and the forced ...d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4, white can now choose between three completely different continuation. These three moves are the most popular variations of the Petrov:
5. d4 Classical
5. Nc3 Nimzowitsch Attack - the most aggressive way for white to play. Almost always going for opposite side castling and a quick attack!
5. Qe2 Cozio (Lasker Attack) - might seem aggressive, but it’s quite equal in fact due to the early queen trade.

@@sanioksasha3338 In theory, the Elo rating system allows arbitrarily low or high ratings. By definition, if you play against someone with a rating that is 400 below yours, you are ten times more likely to win than them. So a really bad player could even have a negative rating in theory. In practice, the spectrum of talent doesn't extend that far. Also, chess bodies usually set a hard limit, e.g. the lowest rating is 100 for the USCF.

"Petrov players--I'm not going to say they're . . . scared to play open positions, but they probably prefer positional play, equal positions, or positions with the queens traded off." As a Petrov player, I find this statement hilarious. I play the Petrov BECAUSE I prefer open positions, and I feel like it's easier to get an open position with the king's pawns traded off. And I hate trading queens and will never do it unless I'm up material or am forced into it. Of course, I don't play it the way you recommend; after the knight takes on e5, I play queen to e7. Usually white responds with pawn to d4, then I respond pawn to d6, then after he retreats his knight to f3, then take the pawn on e4, and in this position it's amazing how many players at my level (sub-1200) fail to play bishop or queen to e2,.losing the queen if I play knight to c3 with discovered check. If the do play queen to e2, I protect the knight on e4 by playing pawn to d5 protecting my knight (white cannot reply pawn to f3 because their knight is already there) so on my next move I can play bishop to e6, preventing any possible queen trade when I retreat my knight. If my opponent plays the three knights, I play pawn to d5. It then often goes pawn takes pawn, knight takes pawn, knight takes pawn on e5, knight takes knight on c3, then after white takes my knight with either the d2 or b2 pawn, I go queen to e7, pinning the knight on e5, at which point the only move that saves the knight is queen to e2, but again, it's amazing how many players at my level fail to play it. If they try to protect the knight with a pawn, I play pawn to c6, and I'm up a knight; if they do play queen e2, bishop to e6 again prevents the queen trade. If after I take pawn on d5, white plays knight takes knight, I play queen takes knight, my queen protects the pawn on e5, and my queen is in the center but in no immediate danger (white can not play knight to c3 to harass my queen because that's the knight I just took) and then I can usually play knight c6 and retreat my queen. Works really well for me at my level.
