The Surprising Black Knights’ Tango by Andrew Martin
Chess video course expert Andrew Martin introduces a surprising chess opening for Black. This course explores the strategy of developing both knights for Black against 1.d4, known as the Black Knights’ Tango. Increasingly popular, especially at the club level, this opening is presented through illustrative model games that highlight key plans and ideas, rather than memorizing lengthy computer variations.
Interactive exercises are a key component of Andrew Martin’s courses, and this one is no exception. You can solidify your understanding of the theory with the included opening trainer, allowing you to practice the variations demonstrated in the course.
