This is the perfect chess opening. A defense you can play against any starting move by White. It doesn’t matter if they play e4, d4, Nf3 or c4, we always go for the same system. It will have different names, but it’s essentially the same opening with the same patterns and ideas.

When you learn an opening, the most important thing is to know the middlegame plans and patterns. That way you won’t waste time and you’ll know what to do in most positions. To do that, you have to do much more than just study opening theory. You have to study maaaany games. Just go to chessgames and filter by opening and start. If you analyze 50 games in a single opening, you’ll understand it! It’s that simple!
