Fritz Trainer: Surprising Black Knights' Tango w/Andrew MartinThe Black Knights' Tango (also known as the Mexican Defence) is a bold and unconventional weapon that puts White on edge from the very first moves. After 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 Nc6!? Black lures White into overextending their central pawns, then dismantles them with precise counterplay. It's not just an opening it's a statement of intent.

The Black Knights' Tango (also known as the Mexican Defence) is a bold and unconventional weapon that puts White on edge from the very first moves. After 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 Nc6!? Black lures White into overextending their central pawns, then dismantles them with precise counterplay. It's not just an opening — it's a statement of intent.

This flexible system lets Black dictate the game's direction. While 3.d5 might seem tempting for White, it's often avoided in favour of 3.Nc3 or 3.Nf3, where Black can seamlessly transition into dynamic setups like the Bogo-Indian, Nimzo-Indian, or King's Indian Defence. In this Fritz Trainer course, FIDE Senior Trainer Andrew Martin — a trusted ChessBase contributor since 2005 — guides you through the Tango with clear explanations and actionable strategies tailored for players under 2000.
