nah i meant....both black knights first....before anything....unless white chases the first knight......
just my opinion

Originally posted by chessisvanityThere is 1. e4 Nc6 2. Nf3 Nf6... then White has several choices for move 3: Nc3; Bb5; e5.
Any openings that have the style of bringing both black knights out no matter what white does?
(i know there are exceptions if white chases a knight)
I know about 1.d4....nf6 2.c4....nc6....
But i'm curious about 1.e4 openings etc etc etc
I wouldn't want to be Black in this line, though!

Originally posted by chessisvanityThere is probably a line in the English in which Black does this. Most of the time, however, White has a central Pawn which can advance and push the Knights around. This of course leads to Alekhine's Defense.
