What happened to the center game, why is it no longer used? I see the Scandinavian defense used all the time (1 e4 d5) but the center game (1 e4 e5 2d4 3xd4 2 Qxd4...) is never see used any more. I understand that black is able to develop with tempo, but i would think white could just mirror blac

I know the reason I don't play it is because it's too risky, gets the queen out too early.

Wow Amnesiac, I just looked at your post as I have not looked at this thread for some time now. Thank you so much for your comments. It makes me want to try the center-game some more.
