The Portuguese Opening is a chess opening that begins with the moves:

The Portuguese is an uncommon opening. In contrast to the Ruy Lopez , by delaying Nf3, White leaves the f-pawn free to move and retains the possibility of playing f2–f4. The trade-off is that White's lack of pressure on e5 leaves Black with a freer hand.
