Have you ever tried the Petroff? 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 Petrov's Defense (also spelled Petroff and alternatively called the Russian Game, Petrov Defense, or simply the Petrov) is one of Black's most solid options against 1.e4. On move two, Black responds to an attack on the e5 pawn by counterattacking the pawn on e4 with the knight. This often leads to a trade of pawns. Playing it at the highest level is a bit of a scythe battle! | Chess Champ
