Foxy 81: The Lion, A Repertoire for Black - Chess Opening Video DVD

The Black Lion is a flexible, logical and sensible way for Black to meet both of these moves. After 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5, or 1.d4 d6 2.e4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5, the opening system looks quiet, like a sleeping lion - hence the name. The opening moves are easy to learn, Black has a good choice of middlegame plans, the positions are easy to understand, and White will often struggle to counter Black's ideas.
