This is referred to as the Two Knights Attack

@ibrust true, I guess I just erroneously call all caro games like this the two knights because the games tend to go the same way, ie tossing everything at f6. I didn’t realize this was actually the main line lol

Black often does Bf5 in the Main line.

Black can do other moves, but Bf5 is the normal way of playing it.

—————

The 2 Knight Attack tries to counter the Bf5 line.

It sets a trap of sorts against it.

So the lines are completely different

What line was you wanting to talk about exactly?

Bf5 Main line or 2 Knight Attack line
