We’ve all heard and experienced the Bishop pair from hell but are there any good and reoccuring reasons to try and keep both knights and use them as a weapon till well into the game? They say Knights are better in cramped positions but that’s not always the case if the board is too cramped. Bring on...

Castling is a king move so castling other side is perfectly fine.
