Another excellent move, mobilizing White's forces by developing a [[knight (chess)|knight]] and attacking Black's pawn on e5.

White could have moved out the queen instead, but that would be dangerous, since the queen would be subject to attack by Black's pieces.
The queen is too valuable to exchange for any other piece, so it can't do much by itself unless the opponent carelessly leaves pieces unprotected.
It is better to wait until 
there are other pieces are developed, enabling the queen to coordinate an attack with those pieces rather than on her own.

White also could have moved out the light-squared bishop.
That would not be a bad idea, but it isn't clear yet whether the bishop wants to be at c4, b5, e2, or even g2.
The knight, on the other hand, usually goes to f3 anyway, because the other squares it could move to are inferior.
