What is the third alternative to the Queen's Pawn Game?

A third alternative to the Queen's Pawn Game is the Trompowsky Attack with 2. Bg5. 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
