    move kings pawn 2 spaces, move kings knight out infront of the kings bishop, these are standard moves. Usually black does something similar. Read some books/tutorials

    Alehkine as black-it involves his pawns and your knight...great fun.

    I think this game in progress is exactly what you are looking for. Game 3717790 my knights are attacking, supported by pawns and the bishops are hanging back ready for some long-distance attacks.

    I played 1.c4 but often black replies with 1...e5 which brings a very different game as you cannot build-up such a strong pawn center.

    Key points here - put pawns safely in the center of the board and develop your knights quickly.

    That usually comes toward the end of a hilarious and frustrating game.....and, uh....usually it's one side with all five knights.
