Use early Nc6 to provoke weaknesses and seize the initiative vs 1.e4 and 1.d4. Master the Mexican & Nimzovich Defences, strategic bishop swaps, and kingside attacks.

Hello Sir Mr. Kingscrusher your topic is very interesting and instructive. Especially for Tango Opening. Actually, this is my first time that I heard that opening and I was shocked during your discussions that it is considered also as gambit. Thank you so much sir :)
Instructor response: Many thanks Mark :)

I love learning the reverse tango with Kingscrusher. Engaging and amusing commentary. Deadly weapon of choice to give an informational advantage in many cases. Highly recommended.
Instructor response: Many thanks David :)

Tryfon explains all of the positions clearly and extensively in the knights tango system. I will try and utilize his techniques and recommendations in my own games. Thanks Kingscrusher.

The courses from Kingscrusher have taken my chess to the next level. I was stuck in the mid 1800's but I have recently managed to get to over 2100. Hope it lasts, it's up to me now.
Instructor response: Thank you so much :)

KC always makes me smile. Looks like he put in a lot of work for this course! I've been curious about the Tango...Now I've got no excuse not to get cracking and actually learn something about it. ;)
Instructor response: Many thanks Dave :)

If you like quality courses on the subject of chess then KC delivers. He speaks clearly and the course video and audio quality are on point. His knowledge is extremely good and I can only guess the reason he isn’t a GM is because he devotes a lot of time to creating amazing chess courses and not going after IM or GM Norms. Playing with the black pieces is often seen as a disadvantage but Tryfon shows us some interesting moves that dissolve the perceived disadvantage of going second. Check out what he has to say about the Caro Kann in his openings course. He often provides discount codes.
Instructor response: I really appreciate your enthusiasm and positivity - glad you find value in my courses. Best wishes, Tryfon
