The Two Knights Defense is a chess opening that arises after the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6. Black develops both knights which is why it is called the two knights variation. In the video, I discuss three moves for White: 4.d4, 4.Ng5 and 4.d3. 4.Ng5 leads to quite sharp positions, 4.d4 may lead to complex variations as well and 4.d3 is the main choice and much more quiet than the two other moves. I give you a sense for what you can expect in these kind of variations with both colors. Let me know if you have any questions!

In this series, Chess Opening Tutorial, I cover a specific chess opening and explain the fundamental ideas and positions that can arise in that opening.
