A Shocking New Idea Against 4.Ng5 in the Two Knights
Like many people, the Two Knights was one of the first chess openings I learned. What kid can resist that tantalizing 4.Ng5 jump, hoping for a quick win with the Fried Liver Attack?
It continued to be a source of inspiration for me as I was starting out. The Traxler, the amazing game Estrin - Berliner, etc. all showed me there were hidden gems waiting to be found, as long as you knew which corner to look for them.
Fast forward to present day, and there are still some discoveries to be made. I've had this funky new idea in the Two Knights for a few months now, and I've always thought it was too good to be shared. But recently, the cat is out of the bag as Ponkratov played it in a game, so let's take a look!
Undoubtedly, white will find some idea to put black under pressure, but I haven't found it yet. In today's computer-driven chess world, where some opening ideas are refuted within seconds, the most exciting moments are when the computer oscillates in its evaluation of an idea, as it means there's no clear way to kill it. It's quite surprising one of these ideas still exists in the Two Knights, one of the oldest openings in chess.
Hope you enjoyed the idea. I have a few more like it to share
