Scandinavian Defense: Viznik Variation Qe6+ works to almost mint perfection

Sort:
Viznik


There’s huge potential here. The Scandinavian Defense: Viznik Variation continues to surprise and act as a potentially startling and effective opening variation of the Scandinavian Defense.

It’s becoming a primary opening I play as black now, and have been seeing success - past my own blunders. It seems the biggest rate of error from this opening comes from my own mistakes and blunders, while the opening itself offers many interesting attacking and defensive lines.

Even better, if white does trade queens - black still gains tempo as white has to move *back* their knight to take, allowing black to catch up in development with pawns already pushed.

It seens trading queens continues to present black with a great advantage into a quick mid game. Even if white refuses to trade and trades bishops by taking back with his knight, black has gained tempo!

This game i played today was played to almost near mint perfection … until I blundered my rook :/ (I became to preoccupied with the attacking ideas of the bishop presented by the Viznik Variation - still, thanks to the opening I was able to gobble up a few pawns and not be down too bad) Still, the ideas are present and the future is promising for the Scandinavian Defense: Viznik Variation

 

(I was able to flag him because I was so up on time because he was clearly confused as to what the heck I was playing. Another advantage of the Viznik Variation!)

 

note: I will add annotations to the game analysis later, I’m on my phone right now.

hm I score exactly 50% against it

interesting

I would caution to exclude games you played against me, so more likely you have just a 30% win rate against the Viznik Variation. 

Now imagine if people learned how to play lines and develop ideas.. it could be crushing.

Bro if multiple 2000+ rated players tell you that this variation is complete garbage don't play it. Your 1200. You know little about openings and how much damage Qe6 does to your positiom.

This is why you’ll never be on the CCOE

You still didn't answer my comment. It is obviously pure garbage, what do you know about how good it is? The CCOE position should be decided by voting, not by some random dictator bozo who claims a trash opening is actually good.

The Viznik Variation offers many unique and interesting attacking ideas and advantages. Dismissing it is foolish without investigating further. The whole point of this club is creativity and curiosity. If you don’t like it, leave happy.pngEven Magnus Carlsen plays it. U mad?

Bro I don't even play e4 and I have no idea of the theory but I could destroy your variation with ease. All it takes is some common sense.

Could you tho?

 

Could you reallyyyyy?

See nikolay it's not because you're resisting him it's because you continuously use your rating as an excuse. If this is so bad explain why.

I am at a point of using my rating because this just got so annoying when I tried to use the logical approach. 

...and where did you use the logical approach h ere? Your first comment was "Bro if multiple 2000+ rated players tell you that this variation is complete garbage don't play it. Your 1200. You know little about openings and how much damage Qe6 does to your positiom."
