That's a good point btw! To find a defense it's important to stay calm

Good try! But I think they can trade rooks and then play g3, planning to meet ...Ne2+ with Kg2 to save the bishop.

I feel like #chesspunks over here are less into solving puzzles than over there. But let's still try!
Can you find a winning idea for Black here? π€¨

That's a good level! Glad my work helps strong players too.
With the Kan, you'll be able to meet 3.c4 with 3...e6 as well. It'll give some variety.

Happy to hear that! Yes, 3.d4 gives us exactly what we want, so no wonder it's going well. Do you play it as the main opening?

Hi! Most of the time, strong opponents respond with 3.c3. But I don't think it's a good idea to struggle for equality in the O'Kelly. Usually, you want to play for a win if you're playing this opening. So even if I didn't equalize but still have an interesting play, it's good.

So they either don't know it's not so good for Black, or accept the risks and take the fun road.
