1....d5 (Closed Game) also prevents White from playing 2.e4 unless White wants to venture the dubious Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. 1...d5 is not any worse than 1...Nf6, but committing the pawn to d5 at once makes it somewhat less flexible since Black can no longer play the Indian Defences, although if Black is aiming for Queen's Gambit positions this may be of minor importance. Also, a move like 2.Bg5 (Hodgson Attack) is considered relatively harmless compared to 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 since there is no knight on f6 for the bishop to harass. White's more common move is 2.c4 leading to the Queen's Gambit when Black usually chooses between 2...e6 (Queen's Gambit Declined), 2...c6 (Slav Defence) or 2...dxc4 (Queen's Gambit Accepted). Also White can play 2.Nf3 which again is not specific as to opening. Then Black may play ...Nf6 (same as above) or ...e6. A Queen's Gambit may arise anyway if White plays c4 soon afterward, but lines like the Colle System and Stonewall Attack are also possible.

At 7:54, why not Bb6 by Morozevich? if Bxb6 then Nh2+, followed by Qxd2. If Kf1 Bxe3 followed by Qxg2. If Kf2, then simply Qxg2. If Bf1 then Bxe3+ Qxe3 Nh2+ again.
