Description
Welcome to our course dedicated to the provocative Knights' Tango System, also known as the Black Knights' Tango, Mexican Defense, Two Knights' Tango, or Kevitz–Trajkovic Defense. This strategy can be deployed effectively against both 1.e4 and 1.d4, paving your path to victory.
Learn from the legendary British Grandmaster Tony Miles, who leveraged this strategy to secure an impressive win rate of almost 60% over 95 games. This course also features a similar strategy for white pieces, known by various names including the Dunst Opening, Baltic Opening, Van Geet Opening, among others.
Instructed by FIDE CM Kingscrusher, this course delivers in-depth understanding and practical application of an early Queen's Knight move. This creates a novel and exciting opening with black pieces, capable of disrupting standard opening theory and provoking irreversible weaknesses in the opponent's position.
This opening shares similarities with the Alekhine defense due to its pawn provocation nature. FIDE CM Tryfon Gavriel aka "Kingscrusher" has employed this strategy with remarkable success, especially in faster time controls prevalent in today's Chess scene.
The 'Tango' element of this system lies in the knight's provocative transition from c6 to e5/e7 to g6. This move often weakens the opponent's pawn structure, providing tactical advantages. An effective way to accentuate these weaknesses is to employ a dark square strategy, facilitating knockout blows to the opponent's king.
Discover how to handle a potential space disadvantage by trading off dark-squared bishops and exposing the burden of space that the Knight's tango imposes on the opponent. Explore the "Mexican defence" recommended by FIDE CM Kingscrusher, which has delivered promising results in master games.
In conclusion, if you seek a novel, exciting opening with a proven track record, the Knights' Tango system can be your secret weapon. Embark on this journey for a fun-filled, rewarding Chess experience!
