Black Knights Tango

[edit | edit source]

3...e6

[edit | edit source]

Black has a solid and flexible formation. The e6 pawn opens a line for the Black Bishop allowing a possible Bb4 which can transpose into a Nimzo Indian or a Bogo Indian defence. White's possible moves include playing a3 immediately to prevent Bb4 as well as development moves, Nc3, g3 and e3.
