This is my favorite opening as white. I also love the Levitsky attack which is d4 d5 Bg5.

I don't like this one.... I go with capa it's better to take the knights out first, then bishops!

This opening has taken away two whole valuable weeks of precious chess training from me as I had to find a way to defeat this vicious, deadly and in my opinion, the most powerful weapon which White can unleash against any Indian Defense.

And today, finally, I've found solutions! There's so much variations after Bxf6 alone, so I have all the different variations I found on two sheets of paper (I think there's about 40).

NOW I'M READY FOR D4!!!

I think thats a good opening because it leaves Black with double pawns.

I once played this opening before and it is pretty effective. By taking the knight, black will not be able to easily control his e4 pawn, which is crucial.

I think the idea in this opening is to take the knight on f6 and then play his knights against black's inflexible structure.

Haven't played it, looks good though. Could mess up King's Indian Defence or Grünfeld Defence

Snake, that's not the full story. The truth of the matter is that black does not want to play h6 yet.

 e6 3. e4 h6 is a difficult continuation for white.

in blitz this is the best openining .but if u play long then it bad cuz u lose time with the bishop cuz the bishop goes to h4 and then g3 better is when it stay at c1:D

h6 does not negate this opening. If black plays h6, white would take the knight and force black to double his pawns. Black's move, h6, does nothing for his development, but white has traded (nearly) equally and has weakened black's positioning.

Black does not want to play h6.

this kind of opening works very well in forcing a scholar's mate. However, any experienced player would be able to recuperate from this assault easily.

Ne4 and e6 are main moves

with Ne4 black wants to play d5 and try to keep his N in the center
