Joined 15 Jun '06 Moves 16334 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.

Joined 09 Dec '05 Moves 955 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)

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 42492 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
Joined 29 Aug '09 Moves 1574 This is called the Nimzowitsch or Nimzovich defense but I don`t know how to spell it.

Joined 15 Jun '06 Moves 16334 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.
