Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 0-0. It has stood the test of time and has been played by many top Grandmasters throughout history. It is considered one of the most aggressive options for black against 1. d4 and you are sure to enjoy the attacks that come from this opening!

Throughout the video series, Robin explains all of the different lines that white can play against this opening and how black can meet each one of them. This is an in-depth video series with multiple detailed videos covering similar positions.
