Which openings let you advance your knights the most?

Sort:
Grunyarth

Ok, I know this is a weird question, but hear me out.

I enjoy playing games with a lot of dynamic action and active pieces (for both sides, although obviously it's better when only my pieces are active wink.png). I've found that the most important factor for my games that end up being most interesting and fun is when one side is able to push a knight to the 6th or 7th rank, often in exchange for some form of compensation, so I'm wondering if there are any openings where this happens more frequently. Maybe in the Grunfeld? (at least with how MVL plays it lol)

Grunfeld is a great opening if ya want a powerful bishop but its a hard opening to play most of the games I’ve played with it I’ve lost so i stopped playing it but i Reccomend the Catalan because U get a really nice bishop and usually u want to get ur knight on. An outpost square Like e5 and if they. Take ur c pawn ur bishop is just wayyyyy to powerful and ya just beat them

Alekhine defense, Mikenas defense (2.d5 and 2c4 e5, the lithuanian defense), two knights tango, dusnt opening (1.nc3 d5 2.e4 d4), budapest defense.

but this is entirely at your opponents discretion, going for the knight hoping lines is rarely forced.
