Originally posted by GolubIn English books 1.e4 g6 is called Robatch defence. And 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 d5 has been called Modern defence or Abbazia defence.
I thought the modern had something to do with g6, etc.
P.S. Name them as you wish, but its obviously that 1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 exf4 4.Nf3 is other system.
Originally posted by KorchNot d5 but a good win agsint tough opposition even if coutesy of a black error. Game 2439096
I would say that at least 2 RHP players - Nothern Lad or English Tal knows that opening (from white side) better than me.

Found some d5 games on the gamesexplorer. Some decent games on there played by higher rated players. Here is one:
Game 377226
Edit: I see it just transposed.
Lovely game, makes me what to try that 0-0-0. Never thought about playing that before as black.
Nice attack also.
Originally posted by KorchI never knew that had a name, Abbazia defence.
I would add that transposing to Abbazia defence (1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Nf3 d5 4.exd5) via Falkbeer counter gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4 d5 3.exd5 exf4 4.Nf3) have one advantage - Black can avoid unexpected surprises like Bishops gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3.Bc4) and other less popular lines.
Anywho, 3.Nf3 or 3.Bc4 I play d5 either way.
You have any games of your own in KGA? where black plays 3...d5?

In RHP I have no KGA games in this defence. In OTB play I have few games in that line. Also I have few blitz games played in playchess.
So I`m not too experienced in that line because I`m playing KG mostly against weaker players.
