King's Knight Opening

Sort:
Froggy

So lately I keep getting met with the King's Knight Opening (when playing black), and I realised I don't have a very good defence for it.  I looked at the Game's Explorer and I am wondering if the most played counter (2...Nc6) is the best option?

 

Any other suggestions or comments?

Jaglavak,

Thanks for the response.  You are right, I have come to realise that King's Knight Opening is quite strong for white.  I do like the 2...Nc6, but in the event of 3.Bb5, where to go from here

3...a6? or 3...Nf6? or 3...f5?
