You may have got the knights mixed up. Knights perhaps on d7 and f6, with a rerouting of the the knight on d7 to f8 to g6. You may be thinking of the Hanham variation.
Which one is? Black defense against e4

Something doesn't seem right about that placement, I play the Hanham as Black, and in even in that line, White can play some gambit lines involving Bxf7 and/or Ng5 ideas, even after Black has castled. Playing Ne7-g6 seems alot riskier, like it gives White an extra tempo to play similar ideas.
Perhaps it might be this you are thinking of?

Hello! I´m trying to remember wich opening is (and the exact secuence of main line) for a Black defense against e4, that starts e4 - e5
I think it was used by several grandmasters in past. Unfortunatelly I have not much to help on guessing it.
It was pawn stucture as Philidor, but the particular thing I remember is the black knight going to e7 first (Nge7) and then to g6 (Ng6)
I´ve tried (but surely is not the right order)
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bc4 Nc6 4.c3 Nge7 5.O-O Ng6 6.Re1 Be7
If that ring someone's bells, please can you tell me wich defense is that? (not exactly what I´ve posted but the one I´m looking for and can´t find).
Thanks in advance!
