Nc6

In chess, "Nc6" indicates moving the knight to the c6 square on the board. This move develops the knight early in the game, helping control key central and nearby squares. It also prepares for other strategic moves, such as supporting pawn advances or preparing for castling. Playing Nc6 is common in many opening strategies because it enhances the player's control of the board, increases flexibility for future moves, and helps coordinate with other pieces to create active, balanced positions.
