    I just played this blitz and my question is does it have a name? Is there any theory on it?

    I ended up having using a lot of time early then slowly got worse after I had to speed up. I lost.

    I believe this is the mexican defense (or the knights tango) Silman has some articles on it and there are a few books on it(one just called tango I believe)

    1.e4 Nc6 is called 'Nimzo's other defence' a really naff name.

    I advocated calling it the Black Diamond Bay Openening because
    I was listening to that track whilst noting up the game in the blog.

    (I don't think it will catch on but anything is better than 'Nimzo's Other Defence.'😉

    The Knights Tango comes about from . d4 Nf6 2. c4 Nc6

    This is called the Nimzowitsch or Nimzovich defense but I don`t know how to spell it.

    B00 sounds like a very scary opening.

    i was tempted to say Chigorin.

    what is the difference between the two?

    another one down with it. Kind of a sloppy game. Moved at blitz speed but it was a 1 day N/A CC game. The end of the game is somewhat instructive.
