Following typical Ruy López plans (queen side expansion, knight maneuver to f4, trying to exchange my bad pieces). I don't typically play for a center break unless my opponent is exceptionally behind in development or unless I know it's going to give my pieces freedom for little cost.

I do not like the Scandinavian cuz I dont like the queen attacked in move 2 also if you dont bring back the queen where it was your opponent can just develop with tempo so its bad
1. Italian game -> fried liver attack
2. Kings Indian defence
3. Caro-kann defence
4. 4 nights game -> Halloween gambit
5. Queens gambit

I agree. Your queen is out on move 2 and white can just attack your queen and develop a night.
