Two Knights Defense

April 21, 2010 A Comment

The Two Knights Defence (ECO C55-C59) is one of the best responses against 3.Bc4, but be willing to suffer the brunt of the attack Fegatello, and Max Lange attack, moreover, perfectly overcome when knows the defense. On the other hand it is a very flexible defense, able to transpose to other openings and defenses. What is black is develop rapidly attacking the white pieces, for that very reason the black should not be entertained in seemingly helpless pawns capture.
This is one of the oldest chess openings since the first games of this defense are documented in the sixteenth century.
