Talk:Four-Player Chess/Common openings/1. h3/1...d6/1...h12/1...l9

Alternate Response: 2.rNe3
I've seen top-level players on Chess.com play rNe3 to guard the f2 square. If blue attacks the red knight with c4, red can maneuver to check blue's king with Nf4-e6-c7. Blue can block the knight's advance with d7, but this partially exposes blue's king. Ne3 may be a weaker move than the simpler d4, because the f2 square is no longer covered after Nf4. Should we add the response 2.rNe3 to this page?--AgentMime (discuss • contribs) 21:04, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
