I have been playing this opening quite a bit recently and it it goes 1.e4 e5 2.c3. Do you know what the correct way to conter this opening is? Maybe playing d5?
It's always better to hear it from someone who has
actually played what they suggest rather than hear it
from someone who has just read it out of a book.

A nice clinical wrap up.

Ke1d2 Nc2xa1 {Now usually in these situations Black will do all kinds of daft things to try and save the a1 Knight. Meph uses it as bait eventually letting it so he can get the King} 13.
