And rightfully so, as we go from #155 to #63 in just one move! Outstanding! Still, I think it's a great opening for black. I hope this blog can pamper the double knight defense's good name and get more people to try this great opening!ZendiScarhttps://lichess.org/@/ZendiScar/blog/a4-the-antichess-mistake/b0sXwinQ2023-07-05T13:43:33.288Z2023-07-05T13:43:33.288Z<img class="ublog-post-image" width="880" height="550" src="https://image.lichess1.org/display?fmt=png&amp;h=550&amp;op=thumbnail&amp;path=zendiscar:ublog:b0sXwinQ:2zwjVzrL.png&amp;w=880&amp;sig=9b8f411183afa8b527a42f884c836ed92bf53238" /><br />Never been a fan of what is played most commonly. Instead I found my joy in the a4 opening. Let's break this opening down and see what it has to offer.ZendiScar
