Ah shoot, the post was screwed, let me try to repost.

Lim   X^2-2X       Lim   X(X-2)       Lim  X-2      0-2=-2

X>0    --------        X>0   --------       X>0 

               X                          X

I've played The Scandinavian defense a lot! But with 2. .. Nf6 .. If you are really lucky, white will play the Icelandic gambit (3.c4), and if he does not know his theory he is in for a world of pain...

 where did the lim x-2 come from?  ANd it seems u forgot the over x part.  I think its just a poorly written test question...

At least that is what I always tell people when I get them wrong

A "X" was factored out of the numerator and canceled out the denominator, simplifying to X-2.

The limit as X approaches 0 means you substitute 0 in for x so you get 0-2=-2

There is your hole though.

What you come up with (after factoring out your x) is x(x-2) Which = 0(0-2) which =0x-2 which = 0

Or the square root of zero ;D

x(x-2)/x still simplifies to x-2 otherwise you get the indeterminate form 0/0=oo

I apologize if my way of typing was hard to read, but I was not sure how to include the fraction.  Here we go again, third time is the charm.

Lim   (X^2-2X)/X      Lim  X(X-2)/X     Lim  X-2      (0)-2=-2

X>0                            X>0                       X>0

oh yes you are right

Even if you consider this an an indeterminate form, you apply L'Hopital's rule to it:

Let f(x) = x(x-2)  and g(x) = x

Then this problem is lim x--->0 f(x)/g(x) , because this is indeterminate then L'Hopital says that lim x---> 0 f(x) / g(x) = lim x--->0 f'(x)/g'(x)

f'(x) = 2x-2 and g'(x) = 1

so lim x--->0 f'(x)/g'(x) = lim x--> 0 2x -2 = -2

Obviously it's easier to do it by canceling the x originally, but just because you get an indeterminate form, it does not mean that the problem cannot still be done that way.

Thank you for your reply.  I completely forgot how to solve out the indeterminate form except for when x>oo when I can use (1/x)/(1/x).

centre conter isn't great same piecestend to be moved time and time again and someone said qc6 is rare its the first time i have seen it and never considered even playing it

If you are going to play the scandinavian 2...Nf6 is the way to go. If you prepare it correctly it becomes powerful.

 I play the Qe6+ Center Counter regularly. And you messed up.  Black doesn't play e6 but Qf5 and I have used Fritz 8 to find Black gets equality
