4...Be7 in the two knights
I could not find a forum entry on 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d3 Be7. It's a main line, second only to 4...Bc5 in popularity. 4...Be7 was recommended by Martin Lokander:

Two Knights defence at CPub
With the popularity of 3 Bc4 at elite level in recent years it's not surprising that theory has been developing very quickly in the Two Knights.

In the Two Knights Defense (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6) 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5?! yields two main lines, 6.Nxf7, the Fried Liver, and 6.d4, the Lolli.

Is this line of any value?
What do you think of this line, from White's point of view?
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.d4 exd4 6.00 Nxe4 7.Nc3 Is White getting anything after 7...dxc3 8.Bxf7+ Kxf7 9.Qd5+ ? Started 05/26/17 at 09:43:09 by grandpatzer |

C57: Fried Liver 9.a3? -+
Black has a simple technical win in this line of the Fried Liver; White is just down a piece for two pawns with no compensation.

C57: Fried Liver 9.O-O c6 10.d4
The best try for a plus in the Fried Liver is 9.O-O; 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5 Nxd5 6.Nxf7 Kxf7 7.Qf3+ Ke6 8.Nc3 Ncb4 9.O-O c6 10.d4 (This is the point where play varies; Estrin reco...

6.....Be6 is the move that white cant refute so easily. Black holds on its own after Qh5 or Qg4. Fried liver is a better option to play for black and you have better chances to win. I would certa... Started 03/22/10 at 17:59:17 by kylemeister « Pages 1 2 3 4 5 all » |
