Playing on chess.com, I chose the two knights defense. This transposed into more of a giuoco piano game, which I rarely play against. I mostly choose Sicilian and French defense, but this time I went with this. A beautiful chess game ensued, where my opponent did not look far enough into the tactics. We both had a brilliant knight move, but the difference was, when he played his, the engine was 0.0, and when I played mine, the engine gave me the blessed M.
