If you want to avoid main lines I think the 3...d6 defense vs. the Italian game is a more dynamic choice, with ideas such as 4. d3?! Na5 and 4. 0-0!? Bg4. I also see my fill of 4. h3 and I typically respond 4...f5!? though that may not be so principled.
Of course White has better responses, such as 4. Nc3 though then a transposition to the Hungarian with 4...Be7 may be in order. Probably most critical therefore are:
- 4. c3, and
- 4. d4
The former was featured in the following famous game:
As to the latter 4. d4 Black again has 4...Bg4, or 4...exd4 is possible, and indeed this constitutes a defense to the Scotch Gambit:
Hope this helps; I've actually recently made the decision to switch to 3...Nf6
So I'm looking for a repertoire as black.I've tried almost everything Sicilian,Pirc,French,Caro Kann,Alekhine and the one opening I really liked was the Alekhine because it's so counter-attacking and has some nice traps in it.Also it's not very studied by players at my level.Lately I've been thinking to try 1...e5 2...Nc6.I want to build a solid repertoire as I find myself more of a solid positional player.So against Ruy Lopez I plan using the Berlin Wall and was thinking of Hungarian Defense as a response to the Italian Game.It looked solid to me(I mean Karpov has played it).The problem is I couldn't even find much information about Hungarian Defense.I saw NM aww-rats video(really helpful) and some topics in the forums too but nothing too valuable.So can someone please help me with some information on the defense?Everything is appreciated(books would be better).Also please don't start saying I shouldn't worry about openings.I devote my time to every part of a chess game and I don't wanna leave the opening behind. Thanks
