Well I share your love of offbeat openings and defenses. I play the 2. Qxd5 variation of the Scandinavian for cryin' out loud!
I don't play it in serious games though, just unrated. Not brave enough to try a rated game yet.
Anyway, I don't play the Scotch. I hardly play 1.e4 at all. I'm a pretty consistent 1.d4 player, but sometimes I do play 1. e4 and the Bird (1. f4).
Anyway, thanks for reading, and sorry for wasting your time with this uninformative post.
I wanted to know if anyone plays the scotch gambit religiously and has any variation that aren't normally seen or researched on the net...i have a few ideas myself....I am primarily an unorthodox player who loves to play the unplayable...as everyone knows a GUILLOTINE is niether good or evil it just gets the job done...
