I have played these openings thousands of times.Author Tim Sawyer introduces you to the superstars of this opening. Their games show you how 1.Nc3 and 1...Nc6 have been handled. Many masters play this from both sides. The author's philosophy is to play the Queen's Knight on move 1 and advance a center pawn on move 2. Sometimes this leads to well-known openings. Often he chooses lesser known openings.As White, you play the knight on the left in the 1.Nc3 Van Geet also called the Dunst Opening. As Black, you play the knight on the right in the dark knight system. It works. A few games from the Sicilian Defence and Vienna Game have been added in case you wish to transpose. But you don't have to. Consider new strategy and tactics and your interest will soar! Some of the author's best-rated tournament games were with the Queen's Knight. You are going to win games that you want to show your friends. Stay excited. Get tactical. Try the Queens Knight Openings!
