Hello (:

I'm Porcy :3


1. e4, e5, 2. Nf3, Nc6, 3. Bc4, Bc5 is the one of the most common openings in beginner and intermediate stages of chess (:

After these 3 moves, there are many ways to continue. Nc3, c3, d4, O-O, d3 and b4 are some of the most common.

But as seen in the database, 4. c3 is the most common. After c3, black usually plays Nf6.

After exd4, most people play cxd4 and continue. But I think that there is a better line. 6.e5 :3
6...Ng8
this is what should happen ideally (:
BUT, it mostly doesnt :0
Actually, one of the worst moves in the position is one of the more common ones! :0

6...Ne4
Ideally, this should happen (:
BUT again, the most common move is bad :3



6...Ng4
The most common line:

So, if white is usually winning, how does black even defend? 
6...d5
This is the line, which keeps the position equal (:
