The Schliemann defence goes as follows:
(Insert paragraph defending the tactical and dynamic potential of certain Caro-Kann positions for Black here. Possibly another about how it is interesting, to the other players.)
How about the Danish Gambit? I've played a few club games with it, but haven't scored too well. +2, =1, -3, I think. Any tips?
yes chessvids. that's the one. it's evil. and trappy.
The Scandinavian is a good way to go if you don't want to study openings (and you get a full repertoire against 1.e4 with it). Don't be fooled and underrate this just because Black gets his Queen out early. By no means this is a patzer's opening; it has been played at the top level with good results.

Here is a game where Frank Marshall played the Danish gambit against Oldrich Duras, (an equally high profile GM) and won.
Nice! This forum is the place to be! I love wild openings!! One of my favorites is the dragon.
OK, just today the forums have become flooded with threads on the Caro-Kann. This thread is for players who like to play a more interesting and exciting opening, such as the Schliemann defence to the Ruy Lopez or the King's Gambit. Just keep tactical.
