Black Knights Tango is a fun opening, especially in blitz. Looking forward to it

Thanks for the video! I'm looking forward to part 2. I'm a 1500-1600 player and play the Black Tango, and I find that pushing d5 is pretty rare at my level. I think beginning players will try to keep a familiar opening pawn structure and choose to just develop pieces instead of going for the pawn push. (I love it when they push the pawn though, because the two knights fighting on the kingside is very interesting and unique, as you've shown!).

(A "bad" common move that I struggle against is 2.nf3 nc6, 3.bf4. This prevents me from breaking out with e5, strongly encourages a boring d5, and I usually run out of tricks. Also what's the best way to take advantage of them if they don't push the c-pawn? (ignoring c4 entirely).)

You can always depend on The Butcher! I was hoping someone made this video and why didn't I know you would have it!

I really enjoyed this series. I hope Big Mio would consider a Chessable course with updated theory.

Very informative presentations with one small remark: Miodrag might be a good bullet player, but his bullet explanations are a little disturbing.
