The examples I gave before are all playable variations to the 2 Knights Defense to the Guico Piano and give a lively game for black with generally positive results.

What more do you want?

Guico Piano is a boring game unless white opts for Evan's gambit. Black's only hope for a lively game. Black has the option of the two knight's defense, but after a bad experience and going over some Fischer and Kasparov games where they were playing white, I'm not quite sure what black gets for the pawn.

Is there any other way to make a lively game in response to 3.Bc4?
After 3.Bc4 I play f5, it's probably unsound and even unplayable at high levels but it sure makes for interesting games.

Stalk them back.

You will find out soon enough.

Oh please, grow up! This is 'boring'!

Do not fight your personal wars in the forum, send private messages. If that doesn't help, and you find that someone is harassing you or stalking you or whatever, send feedback to the admins.

Well, why not try Traxler or Milkes-Barry Variation !? No I am talking about 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 Bc5 and in case of 5.Nxf7 Bxf2 vith a lot of complications......

As I have pointed out in previous posts, playing 4.d3 white can avoid these sharp lines.

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d3 d5 5. exd5 Nxd5 6. O-O Bc5
7. Re1 Be6

Any opening can become lively if you got the "mojo" to handle the resulting positions. Look at GM Moro and the way he plays the opening.

I know that line, but in my opinion this is risky line for black (especially if you are not top GM). White will have serious pressure against black centre and e-pawn.
