1.d4 Nc6 2.d5 Ne5 3.e4
Is this variation dangerous for Black? Although White gains space in the centre, it seems as though Black would be able to counterattack the centre with a move such as 3...e6. But then 4.f4 Ng6 5.de6 ...

Any advice on 1.d4 Nc6 2.c4 e5!?
I'd like to know peoples views on this line. Obviously you have to be prepared to enter a Nimzowitsch after 2.e4, but this seems to me to be something of a 'souped-up' tango.
I found this in an o...

Black Knight's Tango (A50)
Hello,
    It sure seem the right place to discuss the black knight's tango opening. Maybe the reputation is bad on account of the following :
Karpov,A (2692) - Llobel Cortell,E (2388) [A50]...

Two Knights' Tango; 3 Nf3 e6 4 a3
The Tango surely remains a good choice for the club player as Black against 1 d4, but is sadly yet to be properly covered on the website. Perhaps that's because White often continues 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 Nc6...
